It's just one of those little deceptions of UI that make you think holding on to this otherwise average pitcher is a solid investment.

I am personally still playing 2025 until AI development gets sorted on 26 but honestly you likely still have good amount of pitchers along the lines of what we knew. Basically, you just need to ignore your entire "Potential ratings" as means of sorting out pitchers and use other stats. Since as you said 26 to 31 year olds make up highest ceiling pitchers when ranking players because of stuff they will never actually develop.
Now as far as there being pitchers who have fully developed their stuff and fully developed generally it's done by 27/28. There is only handful but that is intended as someone else said. 80/80 pitcher rating is going to be there just not many of them.
There is a lot going on under the hood I don't understand. I imported my 25 save to 26 just to see how AI would grade the players and I don't have one single pitcher who is above 70 potential for entire league including minors and international complex.
