would divide pitcher based on roles

yeah i agree i just got tired and distracted. relievers are probably more B+ tier compared to Starting Pitchers

yeah but what about the differences between
Long Relief
Bridge
Closer
Stopper
smh theres NUANCE

i’m aware but there’s also a ton of nuance in other positions
i think dual-threat quarterbacks and regular ass throw the ball quarterbacks are different kinds of insane but we’d end up with 15 paralel S tiers if I did that

yes and

okay fair but i didnt feel like straining my hands by typing that much

i mean hell even that dichotomy of passing-first quarterback and running-first quarterback is obviously nonsense. there’s a hell of a difference between a deep ball qb and one who prefers shorter more consistent gains. gunslingers and those who minimise picks, and so on

i chose to focus on the position as a whole instead of strong niches within the position. Except when I thought it would be funny. Hi Mike Trout.

i didn’t put two-way in baseball up because it’s a position held by precisely one player in the entire sport but i think given Ohtani’s general vibes it’d probably be X-tier

do you ever feel like Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro Suzuki swapped personalities by accident

like i feel of the two most important NPB players in MLB, the relatively unremarkable in terms of personality but very dedicated one should be the absolute machine in terms of banging out infinity singles, and the insane guy with the most incomprehensible philosophy known to mankind should be the one who invents an entirely new position for himself. And Yet.

now of course it does actually make sense, especially considering that Ichiro apparently really wanted to be a two-way player but managers wouldn’t let him, and it’s best not to make assumptions. but also I feel like the guy who responds to “what’s your dog’s name?” with “I don’t have my dog’s permission to tell you that” should be the revolutionary one instead of the frighteningly efficient one
