Arrays and input

Arrays and input

My assignment asks me to write a program that will let the user input 10
players' name, age, position, and batting average. The program should then
check and display statistics of only those players who are under 25 years
old and have a batting average of .280 or better, then display them in
order of age.
I've written my code for the input section (where it'll store them in an
array):
static int players[] = new int [10];
static String name[] = new String [10];
static double average [] = new double [10];
static int age[] = new int [10];
static String position[] = new String [10];
//method to input names of Blue Jays
public static void inputInfo() throws IOException{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
for(int i = 0; i < players.length; i++)
{
System.out.println("Enter player information.");
System.out.println("Input first and last name: ");
name [i] = br.readLine();
System.out.println("Input position: ");
position[i] = br.readLine();
System.out.println("Input batting average (e.g. .246): ");
String averageString = br.readLine();
average [i] = Double.parseDouble(averageString);
System.out.println("Input age: ");
age[i] = br.read();
System.out.println(" ");
}
}
My problem is the input. For the first player I input it shows me this (as
it should):
Input first and last name:
John Smith
Input position:
pitcher
Input batting average (e.g. .246):
.300
Input age:
27
But my second input skips the name section completely and jumps to the
position input. I can't really figure out why it's doing this! Can anyone
help me out? Thanks in advance!
