DNA doesn't have to change in order for your body to change. Also, current potential in OOTP does not consider current (PEDs) or future ways to alter your body medically as "potential" so I don't accept your argument about medical advances.. Seeing as how the athletic peak for baseball players is from 24-30, it seems obvious to me that a player can't have the same potential at 18 as he has at 25 if he hasn't made the required amount of progression for his original potential level to still be realized. If he was a five star potential at 18 when he had less than a star of current ability then it would be pretty unlikely to have the same potential at 25 if his current ability has made little to no improvement. Potential can be squandered.
