Rob Manfred’s most controversial rule change—the extra-inning runner rule—is here to stay.

Permanently.

MLB’s Joint Competition Committee unanimously voted to adopt the rule moving forward, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN.

MLB adopted the rule, which sees a runner placed on second base at the beginning of every extra inning, in 2020 as a way to combat potential issues with longer games during the COVID-19 pandemic. By shortening extra-inning games, teams would have access to a greater number of relievers in subsequent contests.
