I had a 4 man core of players on my team that are the same age and now he is the fastest player on the decline of them. He had a difficult time cracking the lineup when he first made the team which likely led to the player never reaching his full potential but is that the same thing that is causing his relatively early decline now or was that just the luck of the draw. I'm pretty sure the right answer is a bit of a secret so we'll never know what the correct answer is but I'm kind of curious what other players thoughts are on this.

If he played 2023 in AAA instead of on the bench in the majors maybe he could have been a little better? His early decline is likely unrelated to stunting though.
