For years we have had the debate on whether or not to implement a designated hitter into the National League. The NL has made pitchers bat for 46 years, and many are starting to push to put an end to that heavily. There are pros and cons to adding the DH, and we take a look at how this change would specifically affect the Cubs.
The obvious pro to this is that offenses become much more dangerous. Not only that, but pitchers also get to spend more time resting, which it hopes would keep them more focused/sharper. On the flip side, however, pitching gets that much more difficult not having any ‘easy outs’ per se.
