True, but Ohtani has won 38 games and may not pitch again after he signs his next contract.
I was only throwing Wood and O'Doul out there because people often forget about their own unique careers. Both players had to completely reinvent themselves and despite being an adequate hitter, Wood still battled his way back into the league and won a World Series in the field while he was at it.
