All 30 MLB Team's Go-To Player for Potential Golden At-Bat Rule in 2025

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred made waves earlier this week when he introduced to the baseball world the fledgling idea of the Golden At-Bat Rule.

The idea in its simplest form, courtesy of Jamie Barton of CNN.com: "Once a game, a coach can choose to sit down whoever is on deck, and instead send any batter of his choosing to the plate."

In the days since, no shortage of words have been written breaking down the potential idea, and there is no indication that it is actually coming to Major League Baseball any time soon.

However, for the sake of discussion, let's decide who would be the go-to player from each MLB lineup to serve in the Golden At-Bat Rule.
