I'm curious what some others have seen in this regard. I have to admit that this is one of the coolest features to hit OOTP for me as a historical player.

One of my examples having started an 1871 League with 162 Game Schedules & 4 Man Rotations (which can be effective now that players can be utilized in 2 way manners). Currently just finished through 1879.

Here's a single example of a guy who's carved out a "2 Way" career: Al Spalding

Hitter: 3,384 PA with a .331/.356/.418 line and 147 OPS+. 16.5 WAR with 352 games at 1B, 107 games at CF, 44 games at LF, and 9 games at 3B.

Pitcher: 183-121 with a 2.18 ERA in 2,747 IP and 137 ERA+. 45.9 WAR

Has anybody tested out 1910s - 1930s yet? I'm curious about the obvious ala Babe Ruth but also Negro League players ala "Bullet" Joe Rogan who went 102-44 as a SP but also hit .343 in 1,721 PA courtesy of Seamheads.
