No I wouldn't argue that a pitcher who can both pitch and throw super hard isn't going to be successful. Just look at Randy Johnson.
If you wanted to say Babe Ruth would have a hard time against Randy Johnson, I would agree because I think anyone in any time would. But I don’t think Ruth would have any more trouble with a league average power pitcher just because he throws hard. Ruth was an incredible hitter. I would say the same about Gehrig, DiMaggio and any of the truly elite players.
