The Ohtani rule is a rule that was implemented in Major League Baseball (MLB) during the 2022 season. Named after Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani, the rule change allows teams to waive the designated hitter spot so that its pitcher can be in the batting order. As a result, the pitcher can remain in the game as a designated hitter after they are done pitching[1].
The rule change comes after a historic 2021 campaign from Ohtani, where he was voted the unanimous American League MVP, hitting 46 home runs and driving in 100 RBIs, while pitching to a 9-2 record (striking out 156 batters with a 3.18 ERA).[2]
