7. .206 career BA is "very good"?

Fri Apr 10, 2026, 11:29 AM

Yesterday

There are other pitchers with much better career BA 10 years plus than Gibson. (Who was an exceptional pitcher and has my full admiration and respect).
It just goes to show how good Ohtani is when the people who don't like Ohtani have to resort to comparing him with pitchers who:
1- Didn't play every day like Ohtani does.
2- Hitters who are having a good month - and don't pitch.

Funny stuff.

I am certain Ohtani never faced Gibson's patented chin music. GreenWave Yesterday #9

The game has changed a whole lot since 1968 True Dough Yesterday #8

They didn't lower the mound because of Gibson -- although he was a factor. rsdsharp Yesterday #11
