The MLB used the 'ghost runner' rule for three seasons during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, it's a permanent part of the rule book.
USA TODAY Sports MLB writer Steve Gardner looks at the ripple effect of Aaron Judge staying with the New York Yankees.NEW YORK – Starting extra innings with a runner on second base during the regular season was made a permanent rules change by Major League Baseball on Monday after three seasons of use during the coronavirus pandemic.
Use of position players as pitchers also was tightened by the committee. They will be limited to extra innings, when a player’s team is losing by eight or more runs or is winning by 10 or more runs in the ninth inning. Last year, a position player could pitch only in extra innings or if his team was losing or winning by six or more runs.
