Proponents of the universal DH, which would implement the rule in both the American League and National League, argue that it creates more offense and prolongs the careers of older players by allowing them to focus solely on hitting. The 2020 season, due to the pandemic, saw a temporary universal DH, which many believed added excitement and increased scoring. On the other hand, traditionalists advocate for keeping the pitcher’s batting in the National League, viewing it as a strategic element that requires more managerial decision-making and showcases the multi-dimensional nature of players.
