Trying to debate pitching between the eras is total nonsense, no matter what "facts" or "data" or "metrics" you try to justify your arguments with. The pitching was good back then. We know it just was. The pitching is good now. It just is. What is different, and why there aren't and won't be any more .400 hitters, is starters, short relief, middle relief, long relief, situational relief, and closers. That makes it virtually impossible. Very, very unlikely at best. The OP nails it. It is stunning. In this day and age, Ohtani is an enigma. He'll never be Babe Ruth, but it doesn't matter. He's Ohtani in an era of incredibly wealthy, robotic ballplayers. Very popular and yes, a household name.

I'd love to see Ohtani win the Triple Crown and a Cy Young in the same year. Would have to be considered the greatest season of all-time. And it's not as far fetched as it might seem. Ohtani is currently top 3 in each Triple Crown category and the fifth lowest odds to win the Cy Young.
