Your DH can absolutely bat for any position on the field. Just means the pitcher has to bat. But yes Skenes wouldn't be the DH.


I mean technically you could do it...Beloso would hit for Thompson. Skenes hits for himself.

Then once Skenes is pulled, you pinch hit Jones, Travinski, Frey, etc for that spot in the lineup every time it comes around.

I understand JJ protecting Skenes future in MLB by making him a pitcher only, but if Skenes came to LSU with the batting credentials, as well as pitching credentials that he did... I will never understand why Skenes did not have at least 1 official at bat on the season... and I don't believe that he doesn't get a plate appearance because he risks an injury because he will be intentionally thrown at, or he would risk injury running the bases. I see a major leaguer doing it in California! And it's much too late to change the scenario now!
