On PIV — the one metric that scores both roles against league baselines — Barry Bonds grades higher, 96,025 to 28,255. Because the batting and pitching versions of PIV are calibrated separately, that gap is a directional signal about career impact rather than a ruling on who was the better ballplayer.
