Does the pitcher have to hit in the National League?

Yes. The designated hitter rule was not adopted in the National League, therefore pitchers are part of the batting order. During the World Series, the designated hitter rule is used in games played in the American League park and not used in games played in the National League park.


Who was the mvp of the 2009 World Series?

The 2009 World Series MVP award went to Yankees designated hitter Hideki Matsui, who batted .615 (eight hits in 13 at bats) with three home runs and eight runs batted in. The Yankees defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games.


In the World Series what is the rule about pitchers batting for the National and American Leagues?

During World Series games played in National League ballparks, National League rules are enforced, and the pitchers will both bat like any other position player. During World Series games played in American League ballparks, American League rules are in effect, and both teams have the option use a designated hitter and the pitcher will not bat if this option is taken. If, however, a DH is later put into a game as a position player, the DH option is then lost, and the pitcher must bat.


Has the pitcher only hit at the American League ballparks in the World Series or was it started after 1974?

The history of the designated hitter in the World Series: 1973-1975: DH was NOT used in the World Series. 1976-1985: DH was used in even numbered years and not used in odd numbered years. 1986-present: DH used in American League ballparks and not used in National League ballparks.
