I’m assuming DeGrom is as well…he wasn’t listed since on IL so that number is probably four.
80’s are unicorns. BA had Betts, Acuna, and Ohtani as 80’s.
I posted this in another thread but see for yourself Baseball America’s current grades for 2024 MLB starting lineups, rotations, and top 3 bullpen arms. I’ve rolled up the data to visualize reality.

Reminder - most people who purchase that game are not doing so to play “Baseball America Website Ratings”. If OOTP has intentionally adjusted THEIR rating system that’s fine, they just need to make sure they are very transparent about that from the beginning. There is no reason to cloud that in secrecy or say things like “do you trust your scouts, hehe”.
The game is unfinished (and in my opinion it is not really possible to start actively playing) and some have a bigger problem with that than others. I don’t blame those that are tired of paying for the right to beta test a company’s product. I kinda feel the same way. I just want to play the game.
