Middle infielders and catchers tend to have shorter careers due to the nature of their position.

However, most superstars play up to twelve to fifteen years. Anything higher is considered to be rare, but is certainly not unheard of.

Careers over twenty years are hard to find.

[ScienceDaily (July 11, 2007) - The average career of a Major League Baseball player is 5.6 years, according to a new study by a University of Colorado at Boulder research team. The study also revealed that one in five position players will have only a single-year career, and that at every point of a player's career, the player's chance of ending his career is at least 11 percent.]

The average baseball player career is 8-12 yrs

Most professionals don't get their debut until they are 25 26. It is not logical to believe they retire before a decade of playing. Players also don't peak until there late 20's early 30's. Especially with how one great season could impact ones contract. 32 years of age does not speak for the average ball player.

Career length depends on ability and performance, but a recent study out of Colorado University - Boulder found that 5.6 years is the average length for an MLB player with one in five players only lasting for a single season. Interestingly, at every point in a player's career, the study states, the player has an 11% chance of his career ending.
