Baseball is back and somehow we are less than two weeks away from Opening Day. Thank you to everyone who sent in questions for this week’s mailbag. We will do it again in a couple of weeks.
With the Universal DH now implemented in the National League, can you outline when and how we use pinch-hitters moving forward? Thinking about our starting lineup, I’d rather have each of them bat than a bench-player.
Put simply, it is nowhere near as important as it was before the DH. Essentially the only pinch hit situations you will see is if there is a significant platoon split.
