Based on the past 50 years of MLB and minor leagues, here are some basics\truths:

1. A player not a regular by age 25, almost never exceeds (5+ years as a regular).

2. Depending on age when first full time in MLB, a player almost never improves on his minor OPS.

3. Depending on age when first full time in MLB, a player never fully succeeds with a walk rate over 13.0 PA/BB.
