Which single season feat is harder to accomplish in the Show?

[Caulfield]

Which of the following is the more difficult to accomplish in the Show-
hit 60 homeruns in a single season with one player
or
win 25 games with a pitcher in a single season?

the reason I ask is that I have reached 25 wins quite a few times over the course of the Show series but I have never hit the 60 homer plateau. a lot of that has to do with the fact I pitch better than I hit in the Show but IRL no pitcher has hit the 25 win mark in 25+ years. Verlander came within 1 win a few years back Smoltz and the Big Unit came within 1 also. Even the 60 HR level hasnt been reached since Bonds in 2001 but it has been reached 6 times (Sosa 3 times, Big Mac 2 times and Bonds once) since Bob Welch reached 27 back in 1990.

So OS, what has been your experience?

for me its the 25 wins since i have never done it.

i have hit over 60 with my RTTS player. Actually i beat the record and setting it at 86 dingers in a single season.

In RTTS i hit 72 on AS, but as far as Franchise Modes, I would say hitting the HRs is the harder of the 2.

I got 46 with Santana one year, and that is the closest I have come. I did however, have two 25 win seasons before though, one with Kluber and one with Salazar. Side note, but Salazar always turns into a 95+ovr after a few years, and Kluber always falls off. The 25 win season with Salazar came in the 2018 season, he just gets sooo much better with time.

I've never done either but I think 25 wins is harder because unless you run a four-man rotation you only get 32-33 starts a season, and then you'd have to stay healthy the whole year...

I haven't done either but the 25 wins would be hard

25 wins is not easy but I can't hit 40 HR let alone 60. If there was a choice of "can't do either" I would select that one.

I'd say 60 home runs is harder. The closest I've come was last year with David Ortiz's with 51 home runs. I got 25 wins with Eduardo Rodriguez in 2021 of my franchise. He became my ace and a top 5 starter so I started him on 4 days rest even if there was a off day and bump someone else back a day. Rodriguez went 25-6 in 35 starts that season

I did leave it open to vote for both lol
