In a sport that was becoming more specialized for certain skills, he broke the entire model For Judge - you can use the major stats to get to "apples to apples" and then adjust for the nuances of each era. My main argument is Ohtani could end up with a handful of years like 2022, and Judge should be rewarded for his outsized success this year. The only point I would add is maybe there will be room for someone else now that it is known it is possible to play every day as a DH and be a successful starting pitcher. Most of the best high school players pitch and play the field. It remains to be seen, and Ohtani gets massive credit for being the first one to do it. [/QUOTE]
