Jesse Biddle was a first-round selection of the Philadelphia Phillies back in 2010 and pitched very well for the Atlanta Braves in 2018. A terrible start to last season saw Biddle designated for assignment and play for three teams in 2019. With a new rule requiring pitchers to face at least three batters, Biddle’s chances of making the Cincinnati Reds out of camp may have improved.
In case you missed it, Major League Baseball has instituted a new rule for the 2020 season. Each pitcher must face a minimum of three batters or pitch to the end of a half-inning.
