    What would the Babe be in today?s game?

    Probably a LHP cause today they would not have wrecked his arm with +300 innings pitched per season before he turned 21.

    Had the modern Babe played College ball in the 2020s...then his pitching and effortless power would have been on display

    Funny thing about 5 tool hitters... they don?t mean Ace and Cy Young Candidate as one of the tools

    I doubt that because during the dead ball era, ERA's were way low so it's not that surprising that a scorless innings pitched record stayed around that long, it's just that this one belonged to Ruth. no way Ruth's Lumber would have been benched for pitching.
