Many changes to rules are being discussed by MLB owners and players as we get ready to begin the 2019 season.
Owners had meetings in Orlando, Florida this week and among the topics discussed was a proposal by the MLB Players Association to have the designated hitter adopted by the National League for this season.
That won’t be happening:
MLB's Manfred: The designated hitter will not be added to the National League this season.
Still on deck for discussion:
-Each pitcher must face 3 batters unless an inning ends.
-Pitch clocks, more restrictions on mound visits.
