The "Starting Pitcher as DH" rule

Beginning in 2022, MLB introduced a new Starting Pitcher as Designated Hitter rule -- commonly known as the "Ohtani rule". This rule allows a team to choose the same player as both the starting pitcher and designated hitter (DH) and then make in-game substitutions as if there are two different players in the lineup.

If you have the version 12a patch installed, this new rule can be set with the "Starting pitcher as DH" option in your League or Organization's Rules/options page and will be enabled by default for the 2022 season. 

Therefore, it is necessary to have the version 12a patch installed to be able to play the 2022 season and take advantage of this new rule.

** Important Note ** This season database is a companion product for the Diamond Mind Baseball game software. To use this database, you must also have Diamond Mind Baseball version 12.
