All great talents, but whenever I hear best of all-time for someone like Ohtani, and the most overrated player of this generation, Mike Trout, I say look at the traditional stats rather than the theoretical analytics. Is Ohtani maybe one of the best talents ever? Sure, given his ability to hit and pitch at a high level, but is he having one of the best careers ever? Not yet. Got to give these players a chance to go at least 10 to 12 seasons of being consistently good while staying on the field as well. Trout failed there and Ohtani has had his slew of injuries as well.
Great talents, but all time careers? Nope. Let's see where Ohtani's traditional numbers are when it's all said and done.
I totally agree with you. That's why I always put considered to be the goat. In my opinion, the GOAT is probably between Mickey Mantle, Nolan Ryan, Bryce Harper, & Albert Puljos. I don't know much about the older players though because I didn't grow up watching them.

Bro Aaron Judge should be up there
I thought about it
There’s too many dodgers players
It's the sad part of the MLB right now
