That would be based on when he was first available in the Lahman database. And if you look at his career, his first action IRL was at age 17. The dfference is, he didn't play full-time until he was 20.
I have no problem with this if it's close to real life and it happens sparingly. In fact, it's things like this that give the leagues we create some uniqueness. Why can't there be a gifted athlete who dominates at an early age - just so long as not everyone is in the majors by their teens. But here, this is a combination, I assume, of him starting early and putting up HoF numbers IRL..
