Seems like it was mostly just an early decline. He was actually pretty durable with mostly 150-160 games per year and would just miss a few weeks here and there. His career actually looks like a good ramp up, peak, ramp down -- just short. I still wonder if the career arcs are impacted by the feeder leagues, since I believe they count as Major League service. For example, Conner's profile states 16 years of Major Service, but only 12 in MLB. 1 Indy + 3 college = 16.
