During the last offseason in Major League Baseball, the league and MLBPA agreed to migrate the designated hitter (DH) to the National League. This means that throughout Major League Baseball, each team in both leagues can now choose to use a DH in their roster, as opposed to a pitcher. This is a major change in the world of Major League Baseball, but what effect will it have on the MLB baseball simulation game franchise The Show 22?
Will the DH replace pitchers, who previously had to hit lineups, in Diamond Dynasty for MLB The Show 22? We have an answer.
Even though the DH was added for both leagues in real Major League Baseball, Diamond Dynasty will not have a designated hitter. This was confirmed on the MLB livestream The Show 22 Diamond Dynasty Featured Premiere on March 31.
This means that for Diamond Dynasty, users will need to configure their range around their launcher at the bottom of the range. That may not be optimal — unless the pitcher is two-way star and MLB The Show 22 cover athlete Shohei Ohtani — for Diamond Dynasty players, but that’s where the things are happening this year.
