Just curious, up until what year is there real players in the draft?

and is international free agents only real the first year?

There's definitely some real life players in the draft until at least 2019. There were some guys that I thought would be in the 2017 draft, so I searched their names, and some are eligible in 2019. I haven't checked past that.

International FA, I have no idea. Speaking of which, am I the only one whose initial 2017 Int. FA class is 46 players, 45 of which are batters, and all are from the Dominican Republic? I'm playing a standard MLB QS.

Random Historical Guys in the Draft.

they do include real world amatuers. 3years, maybe more sounds about right.. it runs out eventually then you have fictionally created palyers - or other options like mgom mentioned etc. they just gotta come from somewhere once they run out, right?

the international amat free agents are only real before july 2nd i believe (in past versions they were availble right when the game started + more created july 2 as normal).

not sure if that is how it still works, but the first wave is real. unlike the amatuer draft, which is stocked for a few years at least.
