What is the minimum age for major league baseball players?

Answer 1

It is rare, except for kickers and punters, to see a player who is 40+ years of age. Most players that have a long career retire sometime in their thirties. In other words,

Kickers and Punters - Around 40+ Everyone else - Mid-late 30s

Answer 2

It depends on what position and how you play. A quarter back tends to take a lot of hits, but most will play for 15 years usually 17-18, on a rare occasion more.

A power running back may only play a little more that 10 years because of the contact they take and make. Look at wide reciever, Jerry Rice, he retired at 40. A lot retire after 18 years, this is because wide reievers tend to stay the longest.

Answer 3

Well, that depends on whether one considers the National Association as a major league. The NA played between 1871-1875 and is considered by some historians a major league and by some historians, not a major league. The National League was founded in 1876 upon the disbandment of the NA. So, if one believes that the National Association was not a major league, the 2008 season is MLB's 133rd. If one believes that the National Association was a major league, the 2008 season is MLB's 138th.

Answer 4

Generally age 40. Some players like to stick around (Jamie Moyer age 47) and some like to leave on a good note (Mike Mussina with a 20 win season) Injuries could make retiring time vary.

Answer 5

The age of retirement of a Major League Baseball pitcher varies. Most retire in their mid 30s. Nolan Ryan was still throwing 95 mile per hour fastballs at the age of 46.

Answer 6

There is no age limit if the player demonstrates the skill to play.
