Golden at bat should take it a step farther. If a team uses a player for a golden at bat, he's done for the rest of the game, in field and batting.
But it's stupid. I don't like the ghost runner at 2nd either. I understand not wanting to have games to all night and ruin pitchers (who throw less and less innings, decade by decade), but how about ghost runners start in the 12th or 13th inning.
All for modernizing game where required, pitch clock has worked out. But turning it into a video game reward is silly.
