(NEW) A runner’s pre-attend at second base in extra innings has become a permanent rule, Major League Baseball ruled Monday.
Introduced in 2020, the rule was unanimously approved by the 11-person Major League Competition Committee.
The commission is made up of six directors, four representatives of the players’ union and a referee.
“Clubs are used to this rule now,” said Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. In general, it is appreciated by gamers. »
The committee also restricted the use of position players as pitchers.
They can only be used in extra innings or in the limit of the ninth if the player’s team is trailing by eight or more runs or ahead by 10 or more runs.
Last year it was allowed in extra innings, or in the ninth if the bowler’s club won or lost by six runs or more.
