Otani's success triggers the Major League to establish a new `` two-sword style '' registration frame February 13, 11:29
The Major League Baseball announced on the 12th that it will introduce a new registration slot this season for players who play with two pitchers and fielders, such as Angels player Shohei Otani. Otani's success in the two-way style of the adult has influenced the rules of the Major League.
The Major League Organization and the Players' Association have agreed to introduce a new rule last March, and the official announcement of this season will be announced on the 12th.
According to this, a new “two-sword style player registration” frame will be set up for players who play both pitchers and fielders like Otani.
To register, you will need to pitch in the previous year or in the Major League match with more than 20 innings in that year, and as a fielder you will have to start at least 20 games, all of which must have at least 3 at bats.
On the other hand, players registered as fielders can only pitch in games that scored 6 points or more and games that have been extended.
Due to team circumstances, it is expected that the number of fielders sent to the mound will be reduced, and only unregistered players who can be pitched will be limited to "pitchers" or "two-sword players". .
The introduction of the "Niikatyu Player Registration" was triggered by the fact that Otani played an active role in the adult sword, and Otani moved to the Major League and had an immediate effect on rule changes. Otani will be registered in this season this season, as the requirements for registration of the two-sword style players can be met only for this season and can also meet the performance of adults.
Under the new rules, the starter and the relay pitcher must play at least three batters unless there is an accident such as an injury.
