Pinch hitters and PLPHs
Posted: Wed May 31, 2023 1:47 pmI have a question about setting my default pinch hitters.
Let's say I'm platooning my DHs. My LH DH is sitting vs. lefties. If a righty comes in, he's going to be subbed in, but he's also my best LH on my bench. Should I set him as my LH pinch hitter and my PLPH, or go with my second best LH bat as my pinch hitter?
For example, if a righty comes on in the 9th inning, I'd like my #1 guy to hit. The PLPH spot might not come up in the 9th. I'd hate to leave him sitting on the bench and going with my #2 LH bat off the bench in that spot.
Thanks for your input. Good luck to all!
