The rules regarding pitchers batting in the World Series changed in 1973 when the designated hitter (DH) rule was adopted for the American League. This allowed teams in the American League to use a DH in place of the pitcher in the batting order during regular season games and the postseason, including the World Series. However, the National League continued to use traditional rules requiring pitchers to bat until the DH rule was implemented in the National League starting in 2020.
