Opening Day was delayed to April 7 this year after months of the owners and the players’ union going back and forth.

Some of the rules going into the 2022 season are a bit different.

Among them is MLB's adoption of the universal designated hitter, which means National League teams will have the position for the first time in history. Piazza was primarily a catcher during his career and would get the chance to play the DH position during interleague play. He was only really accustomed to it toward the end of his career with the Athletics. He played 73 games as DH in 2007.
