Everyone on these lists are either hall of famers, or guys who aren’t hall of famers because they were roided up.

u/MahomestoHel-aire also pointed out that Ohtani has fantastic numbers in high leverage situations as a pitcher.

He has the lowest OPS against in high leverage situations of any starter in Baseball history. I don’t think high leverage stats matter as much for starters as they do for hitters or relievers, but that’s still insane.
