Major League Baseball is in the middle of its offseason but the league's commissioner, Rob Manfred, made big news Monday night when he talked about a possible new rule change that he claims had a little buzz around it at the recent owners' meeting. It's called, the Golden At-Bat, and if it's ever implemented it will change baseball unlike any other rule before it.
The rule would allow for a team to choose one at-bat a game to use its best hitter no matter where they were in the lineup. An example would be if the Dodgers found themselves in a key at-bat late in a game, the could plug in the likes of Shohei Ohtani or Mookie Betts even if they had just been up or were set to be up later in the inning.
