PrintI know that alot of people like to compare age to level. I think it holds some value if a player is young for his level. So that said, what are the average ages for each level? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and it would help me out in evalulating prospects. I'm new to the game of prospect evaluation, so any help on this is very appreciated. Thanks again for any help.

Link. It separates for pitchers and hitters but still gives you the info you’re looking for, which is the BatAge column for hitters and PitchAge column for pitchers.

Interesting
So Flores is almost 5 years younger than the average hitter in the SAL?
As is Heyward in the Southern League.
Thanks.
Obligatory caveat
Those ages are for everyone there, not just the prospects. A 22 year old in Low-A is certainly old for his level (see Carter, Dexter)
