MLB Rule Changes 2022: Expanded Rosters, ‘Shohei Ohtani' Rule

MLB and the players union have agreed to a series of rule changes that will be implemented for the 2022 season.

There will be no limit in April for how many pitchers teams can carry. Typically, teams are limited to 13.

The automatic runner starting on second base in extra innings will be for 2022 only. It originally was implemented as part of MLB's protocols during the 60-game 2020 pandemic season as a way to avoid lengthy extra-inning games. Colloquially referred to as the"Shohei Ohtani rule," a pitcher who is in the starting lineup as a hitter can remain in the game as the DH after being pulled from the mound. MLB implemented the universal DH as part of the latest labor agreement.The new labor agreement also gives MLB the ability to unilaterally implement rule changes with 45 days' notice beginning in 2023.
