Pitcher/Hitter. What combinations of Pitcher vs Hitter can you come up with that are similar in style or stats?

Felix Hernandez and Mike Trout. They both changed the way we look at statistics. Felix changed the way voters looked at pitchers wins when it came to the Cy Young voting. I mean, Felix won the AL Cy Young back in 2010 with just 13 wins. Though Felix still dominated hitters that season. Yeah, Felix changed baseball in that area. And Trout? Trout changed the game of baseball with his great all-around play in 2012. Trout’s great all-around play in 2012 made Wins Above Replacement (WAR) well-known. Not just that but a few players who were good but not great were given superstar contracts because they had high WARs before entering free agency and accepted like Jason Heyward and Javier Baez. That ties back to Trout’s 2012 season.
