Very surprised by the voting in this. The question was “dominant,” not “unique.” How is Ohtani, while having a great season, considered more dominant than McDavid or Mahomes?
Mahomes has the Super Bowl wins, and is leading the NFL in passing yards per game, passing TDs, and is the 2nd in QBR since he came into the league.
McDavid has led the league in scoring outright 5 times in 8 years (not counting his injured rookie season as a full). He leads the league in scoring since he played his first game, beating 2nd place by nearly 13%, despite playing fewer games. Leads the league in assist by 16%, despite playing fewer games. Leads the league in game winning goals. Just posted arguably the best post season performance ever - and almost unquestionably the best in a loss ever. Leads the league in PPG by 12% over that time.
Ohtani, while having a great season, doesn’t play in the field and isn’t pitching this season. He’s currently (as of today) in 5th in baseball in WAR, with a reasonable chance he finishes 6th with Soto right behind him, and a full 20% behind 1st (Judge). He’s unique and very good, but the other two have been FAR more dominant in their sports.
