A focal point of the rankings is Ohtani, who, after recovering from an elbow injury, achieved a historic 50/50 season. The complexities of comparing players across different roles, like pitchers and sluggers, prompted discussions about their relative merits in the rankings.
Ohtani spent 2024 rehabbing from a second elbow surgery but dedicated himself to stealing bases, resulting in the first 50/50 season in baseball history.
