While true would it then be true to say that the majority of the best defensive seasons in CF in MLB have happened with players under the age of, say, 26? I'm not sure that would be true. But maybe it is. My perception has also been that outfielders in OOTP seem to start losing their range at a very early age. I remember guys like Brett Butler and Otis Nixon who seemed to be great defensive center fielders into their late 30's.
