Thanks! So, for Topps you have an equal probability of pulling a regular Ohtani or e.g. a Brusdar Graterol?

Not too surprisingly, a ranked choice format like this is what the Hall of Merit project decided on.

Voters ranked their top eligible players, and the top N players from all ballots were inducted (with N based on the size of the talent pool and the existing HoF).

Also interesting that the hitting greats had runs that mostly didn't overlap. While three of the most dominant pitching runs coincided with the height of the sillyball era.

The dominant runs of the great pitchers were a little less consistent and sometimes a bit shorter (7 years):

Clemens 1986-1992
Maddux 1992-2001
Johnson 1993-2004
Pedro 1997-2003
Kershaw 2011-2017

Bonds is the only one without a single down year in that span.

If you count '99 and '00 as his off years, you can extend his run of dominance from nine years to thirteen (1990-2002) or maybe fifteen (1990-2004).
