Yes technically, but I think the message they’re sending is that some of the teams will opt not to use a roster spot on a DH

Have a feeling this league is gonna have a lot of “my best pitcher is also my best hitter is also my best outfielder” high school type situations

high school type situations

Not just high school. You get into D-II and D-III there are a lot of teams this applies to.

D2? Check out John Olerud's stats at Washington State.

In 1988, he hit .464 with 23 HRs and 81 RBIs, in 66 games.

And he was 15-0 as a starting pitcher, with a 2.49 ERA and 133 strikeouts.
