After the start of the season I sorted all players by their potential and it showed those without a team who I assume are scheduled for the first year draft at the end of the season. These players are not showing at the age they made their debuts but far older. For example, Barry Bones is listed as a 31 year old high schooler. Maybe he's a teacher.

Any idea what I've done?

I'm in challenge mode so there's no tinkering I can do with ages, sadly.
I believe random debut doesnt just include a random player in history but also a random age in which he will make his debut. Makes it a little harder when you have to decide between a 26 yr old Willie Mays or a 32 yr old Willie Mays.
