Dodgers Plan On Getting Pitchers Their At-Bats in the Coming Weeks
The Dodgers will have to get used to another new normal in 2021. The funny thing is, it’s just an adjustment back to the same rules from 2019. The Universal DH made a brief pit stop in MLB last year, but will not be part of the plan for the National League.
Because of that, Dodgers pitchers will have to remember how to step into a big-league batter’s box again. Los Angeles has opted to utilize the designated hitter during Spring Training games so far, but there is a plan in place.
