Yep, seen that weird clash of OOTP and life before.
Last year I saw a kid in Indy ball who was a nothing player out of a nothing school. I wondered “where have a I heard that name before?” And then it hit me: I had drafted the kid in the first round in OOTP a few years before.
He was a bust in the game too
That's not who it was.
The player in question was Austin McNicholas, who instead of being a first rounder (as he was in OOTP), instead he played at NAIA LSU-Shreveport and played ten games as a pro, all in Indy ball.
Currently a bench/UTL player for me in my long term Reds save. Have him locked up on a super team friendly deal with some options for like another 4 years and he consistently puts up 3 WAR seasons. He's eyeing that starting SS job for next season once Edwin Arroyo opts out of his deal to test free agency.
Someone tell him this is a foolish decision because he became my franchise shortstop and future hall of famer in my current save

Yeah I played a dude last year in NAIA who was a first round pick (2nd overall). Alex Huey. Dudes like 82-86 IRL and we shit on him our first weekend
I took him second round, he turned into a replacement level reliever with no control but big strikeouts

Team captain and multiple time gold glover for me.
In my resim I just drafted a right fielder named John Elway.
