we shouldn't have a DH at the high school and college level


Agree with this. When did we start using DH's in High School? It used to be that the best pitchers were also the best hitters anyway.

You think Ben Sheets couldn't hit? Hell, I thought Chad Durbin was a better hitter than a pitcher back in High School. Would he have been pressured into specializing already at the high school level?

Kids are specializing too much. I want to see more multi-sport athletes and I want pitchers to hit, dammit.

at my high school, we used to DH for the catcher, because he was really damned good behind the plate but couldn't hit to save his life.

Shifting on a pitcher? When did this become a thing.
