Hell, in another 20 years, there might be since these kids will have a real example of why not try both? - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 28, 04:50 6
- Not that it's Old School Baseball's fault, because as you say, it's fucking hard. But they had 100 years to produce an Ohtani, and didn't - Reagen Jun 28, 05:05 3
  - Teams and coaches prevented guys from trying to play both ways. Lots of guys grow up and go through HS playing a position and pitching. - Krusty Jun 28, 05:58 2
    - And even then we're talking about someone who has Cy Young ability as a pitcher and MVP on his batting alone. -- nm* - Reagen Jun 28, 06:06 1
      - I honestly believe we've had many guys that could do both at an elite level but were prevented from doing it. -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 06:13
- it's why there aren't more Deion's or Bo Jacksons. To be elite you focus on one sport or part of the sport. Freaks can do more than one -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 28, 04:54 1
  - Teams discourage guys from being multi-sport athletes. They want them to focus on one sport. -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 05:59
