I have only been around since August of 2017. I am curious if any of you have ever seen an Ohtani type player (a player that is a top line starting pitcher, but can also hit well). Or, even somebody that is a decent pitcher that can hit well. Or, even somebody that is a great hitter and can pitch a little bit. Do these type of players exist in the sim?

An owner brought up the point that they would need to do some tinkering with the durability setting if there were players like ohtani. He said that we will probably never see this. I think he is right.

I’m very interested in this too and have thought about it. Has anyone ever seen even a guy who has AAA hitting and pitching.

Looking at this purely as a thought exercise... Doubt it's possible for the sim to do this. It's not just the Durability setting. This system seems to have parameters within certain logic with which it generates players.
For instance, Catchers have lower Durability because in real life most catchers don't play more than about 130 games; that's one reason why catchers with Overall ratings over 80 are super rare.

Imagine a barely adequate ML DH who hits well at AAA. Overall is suppressed because his fielding ratings are poor. Let's say he's about a 60 Overall.
Imagine a back-end ML relief pitcher. Depending on his Durability he's about a 60 or 65 Overall.

Put those two players together and I bet it would add up to an 85 Overall player who isn't better than average at pitching or hitting. Closest thing I can think of is that you sometimes see a CiTR catcher who gets his fielding ratings pumped up to the point he can play infield positions.

I would guess, in this system, an Ohtani would have about a 125 Overall rating. But the Durability would be a huge issue. If you made him anything like 25 Durability, like a regular SP, you couldn't really use him as both a hitter and a pitcher. If you made him anything over a 45 Durability, so he could be a hitter, you'd use him full time as a pitcher and pitch him twice as often.

Too long, but I don't think the system can do it.

Very nice thoughts indeed. The idea that a player that is a AAA talent as a pitcher and hitter, but has an overall rating of 85 is scary. I can see the SPORTSHUB complaint box filling up very quickly.

Another owner also brought up the point that if SPORTSHUB had the resources to do something like this, there are probably 100 other items (i.e. update stadiums, free agent transparency, certain statistical updates, etc.) that need to be done before something like this.
