So 2100 players every year, 600 of which are international, that’s 28.5% - the real life number pretty much to the decimal point, depending on what day you count.
With only 30 rounds generated there should only be about 360 international players, which works out to be 8 discoveries per team. Or even lower, since I don’t think the game actually generates 30 rounds worth of new players every year thanks to underclassmen and high school players not signing or going undrafted and recentering the draft the next year. But if you do that, there won’t be enough players to fill out 52 rosters in the DSL. Does the game have a higher percentage of DSL players make it to MiLB/MLB than in real life? You’d probably have to cut the DSL down to 30 teams.

Not sure...it does seem like the DSL scouting discovery players are generally pretty raw and fail to reach potential more than a draftee.
