When you set a maximum age this is the players "Baseball Age". Player Baseball Age is their age on June 1st in the game. (In real life July 1st is used, not sure why the game uses June 1st.)
In your example max age of 22 means that players in their age 22 season are eligible. So players who turn 22 on or before June 1st are not eligible and players who turn 22 after June 1st are eligible. So some players will actually be 23 part of the season. So by the end of the season an eligible player could be as old as 23 years and 3 month.

Baseball Age (Seasonal Age)
Definition
A player's baseball age indicates how old he is as of July 1 in a given season.

The purpose of baseball age is to establish one age per season for each player, even if a player has a birthday during the season and spends parts of the campaign at two different ages. A given season will often be referred to as a player's "age-x season," with "x" being the player's baseball age.

Note: Baseball age is not an official metric, but it is widely used in baseball literature and media.
