Designated Hitter Rule
If the Designated Hitter Rule box is selected, then the selected subleague will use the designated hitter rule. This rule allows teams to have a player other than the pitcher take a place in the batting order, resulting in greater offensive output. In leagues that use the designated hitter rule, pitchers do not bat.

This doesn't make any sense because he's not performing the role of a DH. He's a starting pitcher who is batting in his normal place in the lineup, just like every other SP in the league. I fail to see why the game has made him a DH when he's pitched 135.2 innings in the current season.
