MLB's Controversial 'Golden At-Bat' Rule Sparks Debate
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has mentioned that there's some interest among team owners in a proposed "Golden At-Bat Rule," which would allow a team to select one at-bat per game for their best hitter, regardless of the batting order. This idea is still in the early discussion stages and is part of broader conversations about rule changes aimed at making baseball more dynamic. While the concept is unconventional, it reflects MLB's recent openness to experimenting with rules to enhance the game's appeal.
