Two Way Players

Since Shohei Ohtani has all of his pitching and hitting seasons in WiS can we get other two way players in history added. Before Ohtani, the few two way players we had only got one hitting or pitching season depending on which one was best. If Ohtani gets both of his for all seasons of his career, the handful of players that did both pitching and batting should also have all of their seasons present. Here are a few of the ones that I’ve come across that could be changed.

Ed Daily was a Pitcher and Outfielder that played from 1885 to 1891. In those six years he has pitching and hitting stats in all 7 years, however in WiS he only has two pitching seasons in 1885 and 1886, and then batting seasons from 1887 until 1891.

Babe Ruth has three pitching seasons in WiS in 1915-1917, and batting seasons from 1918-1935. He did have WiS eligible pitching seasons in 1918 and 1919 and WiS eligible hitting seasons from 1915-1917


There are many others such as Rick Ankiel & Brooks Kieschnick in recent times and in the early days players Jack Stivetta, Kid Gleason, Win Mercer, and Amos Rusie. There were quite a few of these guys in the early days when rosters were smaller before they reached their modern size of 25+.

Can we get all of those seasons from all of those players now that WiS has done that with Ohtani.
