He performs just as well or better than most captains in "The Cage," and while it may not be the Enterprise he's captaining for most of his time on Discovery, it's a good bet he's just as solid and courageous in the face of danger and mind-bending discoveries on the bridge of the Enterprise. However, we still have a good idea of what kind of Enterprise captain Pike was.
However, he does return to the Enterprise in Discovery's two-part season 2 finale, and he'll reportedly reprise the role in the upcoming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. There's his time as captain in "The Cage," but for most of Discovery's second season, he's captaining the titular ship rather than the Enterprise. Ironically, in spite of so many actors playing him, we actually haven't seen him as an Enterprise captain much. Clearly heroic and willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good, Decker would probably have a higher spot on this list if he'd had more time in the captain's chair. Decker volunteers to become one with the intruder - which calls itself V'ger. He still serves aboard the ship and even saves it a couple of times during the journey to intercept the intruder, which eventually turns out to be an evolved Voyager probe originally sent from Earth in the 20th century. While we never get to see much of Decker as a captain, he takes his demotion just about as well as anyone could. While it's clear that there's some validity to Kirk's experience making him the best choice for this particular job, it's just as obvious that he's unhappy behind a desk and is using the situation as an opportunity to get himself back in the thick of things.
In the beginning of the film, Kirk - now an admiral - gets himself back in the Enterprise's chair when a powerful space-borne "intruder" is detected heading toward Earth.
