I think that Hunter is somewhere between the mediocre that some people are claiming and the Ohtani-ing you claim (who's the best hitter in the world). Most metrics I value have Hunter as somewhere between the 5th and 10th best player at both positions - very good, but certainly not obviously better than Jeanty's value.

Fantastic article! I started my professional life as a sportswriter and enjoy excellent writing *about sports*. Glad I stumbled upon your work in the Notes feed. Cheers!

Great read, gotta take umbrage at the claim that Colorado is in the 4th best league though. The B12 is clearly number 3 and the gap between them and the top of the Group of 6 (probably the ACC, maybe the AAC) isn't particularly close.
