IIRC, AA and AAA NL leagues don't have a DH except for the PCL (and there it's by manager agreement when two NL affiliates are playing against one another). I just don't see how removing 50% of the strategy of the game improves the game.
All AAA And AA leagues have the DH unless it’s two NL affiliates. The default is the DH. A and below always use the DH. All the international leagues use the DH.
And they play decent baseball in the AL.
So you have all these pitchers that come up and don’t bat in don’t bat in high school or college. They don’t bat in low minors. When they finally advance they start hitting, but only in like half the games. And they hit like it. Pitcher batting averages have steadily declined.
The NL is literally the only league on Earth that plays baseball this way.
I’m not sure if I want the switch. I can see it from both sides. But to say if you don’t have the DH, it’s not baseball, is ludicrous.
