MLB and Atlantic League to Test Experimental Rules in 2023.

The Atlantic League will test three experimental rules during its 2023 season in partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB). The rules include a designated pinch-runner, a single disengagement limit for pitchers, and the "Double-Hook" designated hitter. The Atlantic League has served as a partner league of MLB for observations of inventive ideas. The defensive shift restrictions and bigger bases that arrived in the big leagues this year were first experimented in the Atlantic League prior to additional experimentation at the affiliated Minor League levels.

MLB to Test Designated Pinch-Runner and Other Rule Experiments in Atlantic League

MLB has announced new rules experiments for the Atlantic League, including a designated pinch-runner, limiting pitchers to two disengagements per plate appearance, and the double-hook designated hitter rule. The designated pinch-runner can substitute for any player and both can stay in the game. The single disengagement limit prevents pitchers from abusing the system, and the double-hook rule ties the starting pitcher to the designated hitter. These experiments aim to add more speed and athleticism to the game and encourage strategic thinking.
