re: Should the National League adopt the designated hitter?

I’ve never seen any stats on this, but I’m sure that National League pitchers are taken out of games earlier on average. Just because their team brings in a pinch hitter for them.
That arguably in the biggest effect of not having a DH.

Aka using strategy

There are more substitutions and especially more double switches in the NL. It’s common knowledge that being a manager requires more in-game strategy in the NL.
I think that the DH in 1973 was more of a gimmick to spark attention/conversation, because the numbers have never confirmed that the game has improved noticeably because of it. The average team gets about 10 extra hits per season because of the DH rule.
