What do you call the levels of college students in a four-year program, then, if not freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior?

1st/2nd/3rd/4th years as the case may be.
Much more obvious.

Single A short season

There are rookie teams, too? I'd only ever thought that rookie was a term applied to a new(ish) player.

There's even two levels of Rookie league. The Appalachian and Pioneer Leagues take mostly kids drafted out of high school and maybe lesser college players. Then there's the Gulf Coast League and the Arizona League that take the really marginal choices. They don't even encourage fan support.

There's also welterweight, middle weight and heavy weight. Not sure which order the first two go in.

Linnaeus the father of modern taxonomy classified all organisms in a hierarchy of seven levels - KINGDOM PHYLUM CLASS ORDER FAMILY GENUS SPECIES; (two were added on later; it was orginally five). He also is credited with the binomial nomenclature - identifying organisms by the genus and the species name in that order, e.g., Homo sapiens
