The 5 is surpassed only by the 8. And I think the 5 has more onbase. In the old days, there were only 1-4. They added 5-8 many years later, The 6 should have more power than the 5, but not nearly the on base. Also, they can be either W or N, so that makes a difference too
And yes, they are correct

6, 7, and 8 are the only cards with HR chances. 6's are supposed to be for the guy who had 3 hits all year but one of them left the park. 8's are very good hitters. 1-5's can be either W or N - the W's have HR's on the opposing pitcher's card converted to singles just like for W batters. N pitchers can hit home runs off of the opposing pitcher card. A 5N pitcher is a pretty good hitter, probably about as good as Lou Brock. Pitchers also have steal ratings, but we can't access them in the game. Leroy Matlock will steal a base now and then, and I suppose the Ruth pitcher card will too but nobody will ever find out.
One of the really irksome things here, to me, is that Hecker is a 1WR hitter. But he won a batting title in about the same time frame as that pitching card.

i agree. i think a lot of the early pitchers played positions like Ruth
