Mets: How the three batter minimum role would have impacted past pitchers
MLB’s possible new “three batter minimum” rule for relief pitchers would not have worked out well for New York Mets pitchers of the past.
Major League Baseball is trying to speed up the National Pastime and one proposal is to require all pitchers to pitch to at least three batters or until the half-inning ends, whichever comes first. How will the New York Mets manage?
To demonstrate why this rule change is not the end of baseball as we know it, I will use old favorite Jerry Blevins as an example of how to take advantage of this concept.
