Difficult comparing two completely different sports, but a couple of former NFL players side with Othani claiming what he’s accomplished is more difficult, and would like to see Hunter get into a batting cage and try hitting a 95 mph fastball. No one else in baseball history has pitched and hit at the same time nearly as well as Ruth and Othani.
Maybe Hunter ought to play both ways in the NFL before he opens his piehole.
hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a mlb baseball.
And yet the most valuable man on the field is the pitcher.
Ohtani is both.
If he hit 250 with 5 hr and had an era of 4.75 he would still be the best player in baseball.
The fact he’s doing either. Much less both well. Is unfathomable which is why we haven’t seen anyone do it in 100 years.
So when Travis Hunter. In the nfl. Becomes a pro bowl corner. And a pro bowl wr. In the same year. We can evaluate a little more seriously
He's a moron....no comparison...one guy is a superstar the other guy hasn't played a down in the NFL and makes that crack...not sure he will even make it as a corner in the NFL..and what makes him think he can star both ways....Deon sanders was more talented and faster than Hunter and outisde of being a great corner that couldn't tackle and a really good punt returner I wouldn't say he was better than Ohtani...
He's right as it relates to the physical demands of two-way players in football vis a vis baseball But Ohtani is a starting pitcher, which is akin to being a QB on offense. Much more mental output.
