I really do hope they look into this. I've run a number of tests and have found that by 2045, college players make up only ~15% of MLB players who were taken via the draft, and an even smaller percent of the total players when incorporating international players. This in spite of the fact that, at present, 58% of players in contemporary MLB have played in college for at least some time.

I don't need this exact ratio to persist, but it really seems like the main reason that college players don't pan out is because they do not start with high enough ratings given how the development engine currently works. This is most obvious in how most AI teams send their college players to rookie leagues rather than A ball after the draft, or in how the majority of college players seem to repeat A and A+ in two separate seasons.

I'm completely fine with changes in the league over time, this one feels like a failure of game mechanics rather than a natural development of the league.
