Who will be the DH for each NL team during the 2020 MLB season?
So you’re saying there’s a chance? Yes, Lloyd Christmas there is indeed a chance that we will have a 2020 MLB season!
The latest that has been reported is a conversation face to face between MLBPA president Tony Clark and commissioner Rob Manfred with a proposal to be around 60 games with prorated salaries.

The proposal also includes the use of a universal designated hitter for this season and for the 2021 season – the current collective bargaining agreement expires at the end of 2021.
With that in mind, there are things we still don’t know about the season in terms of telling the players ‘when and where’, but it gives us the opportunity to predict a few things.
The American League has had the DH in its league since 1973. It is the one major difference between the two leagues.
The National League has rumored to be adopting the DH as well in recent years but nothing has been agreed upon until now. Right now, the NL only uses DH during spring training, the all-star game, and in AL parks during the regular season.
But now that it is going to be a formality, who will represent the pitcher in the batting order for each NL team?
