On PIV — the one metric that scores both roles against league baselines — Lefty Grove grades higher, 81,321 to 9,545. 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.
