As if there weren’t enough confusion already. Most umpires don’t completely understand the original rule, let alone teams and players. I still get teams that try to use the “college” DH rule. Now, our State has made a rule exception of its own to this, and is allowing the player/DH who is either the pitcher or the catcher in addition to the DH to have a Courtesy Runner, too. They say it’s one of their “speed up” rules.
