These charts show the average ages by the types of major league players. Since left-handers and right-handers seem to develop at different speeds in this game, I just wanted to take a high-level snapshot of all scenarios. These ages are all weighted by playing time: for pitchers it’s weighted by number of starts and number of relief appearances, while batters are weighted by at bats.
Left- and right-handers in real MLB seem to have similar career lengths and average ages but left-handed relievers have the longest careers and highest average age of any group.
