Why on earth would you bat Ohtani lead off? Surely he would generate more runs batting 3rd or 4th. It seems willfully stupid. As far as Adam's too soon comment, at 50 combined WAR, Ohtani has a long way to go to catch Ruth at 180 and obviously is never going to get remotely close to that. Just one measure of course, but by the numbers Ruth was a better pitcher and a much better hitter, in relative terms. That takes nothing at all away from Ohtani.
