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.

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.
