On PIV — the one metric that scores both roles against league baselines — Andy Pettitte grades higher, 57,293 to 24,469. 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.
