Positive news from MLB’s CBA negotiations has been hard to come by. Both MLB and the MLBPA have failed to find much common ground on key issues. One of the few things they have agreed on is implementing a universal DH. Since it appears pitchers will no longer have to pick up a bat, Dodgers reliever Justin Bruihl took to Twitter to brag about his offensive accomplishments in 2021.
Bruihl did indeed log a perfect 1.000 OBP in 2021. In his lone plate appearance on August 10, Bruihl earned a five pitch walk. Pitcher Enyel De Los Santos now has the distinction of paving the way for Bruihl to make history.
