Will There Be A Baseball Season In 2022? The MLB has not released an official statement, but with the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, it’s looking unlikely.
Introduction
With the COVID-19 pandemic postponing or canceling the 2020 Major League Baseball season, many fans are wondering if there will be a season in 2021. While it’s too soon to say for sure, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has said that he is “very confident” there will be a season next year. However, he has also said that the league is “not 100 percent certain” about the 2022 season.
What Happened in 2020?
In October 2020, the Major League Baseball (MLB) season was cancelled due to the pandemic. This was only the second time in the MLB’s history that a season was not played.
The first time was in 1994 when a players’ strike resulted in the cancellation of the World Series. That year, baseball fans were left wondering if there would be a season at all.
This year, fans were left wondering if there would be a season at all. The MLB has not yet announced if there will be a baseball season in 2021.
What MLB is Doing to Try and Make a Season in 2021
The MLB has seen a lot of postponements and cancellations in the 2020 season and they are hoping to avoid that in the upcoming 2021 season. They have already announced that they will be moving the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby out of Atlanta in an attempt to gain more support from the Black community.
The league is also considering changing its rules to try and speed up the game and make it more exciting. These changes could include a rule where each team only gets three mound visits per game, instead of the current limit of six. Another proposed change is a “BAT” rule where a baserunner has to stay on their feet until the ball is hit, instead of being able to lead off early.
These changes are all designed to make the game more exciting and bring viewers back. The MLB is desperately hoping to have a full season in 2021, but with so many uncertainties, it is hard to say if that will be possible.
Will There Be a Season in 2022?
The 2022 Major League Baseball season is fast approaching, and with the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, many fans are wondering if there will be a season at all.
As of right now, it is still too early to tell for sure. However, there are some encouraging signs. For one, the 2021 season is currently proceeding as planned, with no major delays or cancellations so far. Additionally, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has said that he is “confident” that there will be a 2022 season.
Of course, the situation could still change and the pandemic could continue to cause problems for the sport. But as things stand right now, it looks like there will indeed be a 2022 MLB season.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is still too early to say definitively whether or not there will be a baseball season in 2022. However, based on the information that is currently available, it seems unlikely that a full season will be played. It is more likely that there will be some sort of shortened season, or that the season will be postponed until 2023.
