Peak Players

Sabernomics points to a couple of studies that show hitters peak closer to 29 than 27. That's very interesting. When I first read Bill James and his research that players peaked at 27, it made sense to me. A few years earlier, a crew coach told me that oarsmen peaked at 27. I figured at that point, athletic peak was athletic peak. But it appears Bill's study was biased by the era of ballplayer he chose. Time to readjust my thinking.
