The OOTP future is unpredictable (like every other future). In a league that I'm in, a first baseman named Jordan Steranka, who was cut by Bradenton in real life, is currently (2024) one of the Pirates' top players. OTOH, Andrew McCutchen declined rapidly after the 2016 season. Now (admittedly, he's 37) he starts only against lefties and is rated 25 at CF.

Exactly. I had a league where Rafael Devers was still an excellent everyday player at age 40. But other people probably saw him turn into a bust in their league. There's a lot of randomness in how players develop.
