Now that Manfred has agreed to the universal DH, Logan Webb has officially hit the last home run by a pitcher in the major leagues, which he did against San Diego on the last day of the year.  Shades of Madison Bumgarner.

Hey Mick, in general, how has the DH affected pitching stats? Intuitively it would seem that ERAs, for one, would be higher.

One effect is that American League batters have been hit at a rate 10% to 15% higher than National League batters.
