GOLDEN AT-BAT COMING TO MLB?
Trust Rob Manfred Won’t Screw Up MLB Golden At-Bat Rule
If you haven’t heard about the “Golden At-Bat” rule proposal taking the baseball world by storm, here’s a simple summary.
Under the proposed rule, each team would be allowed to choose any one time in a game to bring any player to the plate, even if it’s not his turn in the batting order. So, if Bobby Witt Jr. isn’t set to bat in the ninth inning of a one-run game, the Royals could use their Golden At-Bat to get him to the plate. The idea was first floated by commissioner Rob Manfred in a podcast interview with Puck’s John Ourand, and Jayson Stark has expanded on that suggestion at The Athletic.
Sound like a crazy idea? Yeah, we think so, too.
In his latest column, J.J. Cooper explains that, while the Golden At-Bat would be a mistake for baseball, Rob Manfred’s recent history suggests the commissioner’s office isn’t about to to make any big game-altering decisions on a whim, either.
