Main article: 2021–22 Major League Baseball lockout

On December 2, 2021, MLB owners voted unanimously to enact a lockout upon the expiration of the 2016 collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players' union. Issues raised between the league and union involved compensation for young players, as well as limitations on tanking to receive higher selections in the MLB draft.

The 2021–22 lockout was the first MLB work stoppage since the 1994–95 strike. It instituted a transaction freeze, including the postponement of the major league portion of the Rule 5 draft. It would be the first year since 1920 to not have a major league phase of the Rule 5 draft, though the minor league phase will still go ahead as scheduled.[5]

On March 10, 2022, almost 100 days after the beginning of the lockout, MLB and the MLBPA reached a deal on a new, five-year CBA.[6] Players began reporting to training camps on March 11, spring training began on March 17, and Opening Day on April 7.[6] The league plans to play a full, 162-game season, and games displaced by the delayed start have been rescheduled.[7][6]

Changes in the new CBA include a pre-arbitration bonus pool for eligible young players, increased minimum salaries (increasing from $700,000 to $780,000 over the length of the deal), a draft lottery to determine the top six selections in the draft, the establishment of an international draft, and the establishment of a Joint Competition Committee that, in 2023, will oversee the adoption of future rule changes (including base sizes and pitch clocks among others). The National League began adopting the designated hitter on a permanent basis, after having previously used it on a temporary basis during the shortened 2020 season, while the postseason will be expanded to 12 teams.[6][8]

Major League Baseball released their 2022 regular season schedule on August 4, 2021. As has been the case since 2013, all teams play their four division opponents 19 times each for a total of 76 games, play six or seven games against each of the other ten same-league opponents for a total of 66 games, and 20 interleague games. Interleague play will feature AL East vs. NL Central, AL Central vs. NL West, and AL West vs. NL East.[9][10]

The MLB at Field of Dreams game returned for a second year, featuring the Chicago Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds at the purpose built ballpark in Dyersville, Iowa, on August 11.[11] The Cubs won the game 4–2.

The annual MLB Little League Classic featured the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles at Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on August 21.[12] The Orioles won the game 5–3.

Both Canada and the United States have travel restrictions for individuals who are not vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. Each requires incoming travelers who are not citizens to have received a full course of an approved COVID-19 vaccine no later than 14 days before entry into the respective country.[13][14]

On March 10, Major League Baseball announced the following rule changes for the 2022 season:[15]

• The temporary rule for the 2020 and 2021 seasons that had doubleheaders played as seven-inning games was repealed.
• The National League adopted the designated hitter full-time. The NL previously adopted the rule temporarily in 2020 before reverting for the 2021 season.
• Tie-breaker games at the end of the season have been eliminated and replaced with statistical tiebreakers.
• The playoff system has been changed:
  • Twelve teams will qualify for the postseason, with the division winners seeded one through three, and three wild cards seeded four through six in their respective leagues.
  • The top two seeds in each league will receive a bye into the Division Series.
  • The lowest-seeded division winner, and three wild card teams (each seeded according to regular season record), will play a best-of-three Wild Card round, with the higher seed hosting all three games. The third-seed will play the sixth-seed, and the fourth-seed will play the fifth-seed.
  • There is no re-seeding of the bracket. The first-seed will play the winner of the fourth-seed versus fifth-seed series, and the second-seed will play the winner of the third-seed versus sixth-seed series in the divisional round.

On March 22, MLB introduced an extra set of temporary rules for 2022:[16]

• If a team voluntarily waives the designated hitter spot so that its starting pitcher can be in the batting order, that pitcher can remain in the game as a designated hitter after being replaced by a relief pitcher. This was colloquially called the "Ohtani rule" after rare two-way player Shohei Ohtani.
• The rule establishing an automatic runner[17] on second base to start each extra inning in regular season games, previously repealed on March 10, was reinstated.
• Rosters were expanded from 26 players to 28 players until May 2, due to the shortened spring training.[18]

On April 5, the league announced that all teams may use PitchCom, a wireless system for catchers to request pitches by type and location. PitchCom is intended to reduce the risk of sign stealing and to quicken the pace of play.[19]

On April 26, the league announced that limiting rosters to 13 pitchers had been delayed until May 30, allowing teams to carry up to 14 pitchers until then.[18] The 13-pitcher limit was later delayed again, becoming effective June 20.[20]

• Tylor Megill / Drew Smith / Joely Rodríguez / Seth Lugo / Edwin Díaz (NYM):
  • The five pitchers combine to throw the second no-hitter in franchise history by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 3–0 on April 29. It was accomplished on 12 strikeouts and six walks on 159 total pitches. Megill pitched the first five innings. It is the 17th combined no-hitter in league history. This was also the 20th time that the Phillies have been no-hit in their history, which ties them with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the most times being no-hit of any franchise, which includes the postseason.[55]

• Reid Detmers (LAA):
  • Detmers threw his first career no-hitter, and the 12th no-hitter in franchise history, by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 12–0 on May 10. He struck out two, throwing 68 strikes on 108 pitches. His only two baserunners came via a walk in the sixth inning and a fielding error in the seventh. Making his 11th career start, Detmers became the 25th rookie and youngest Angels pitcher in history to throw a no-hitter.[56]

• Cristian Javier / Héctor Neris / Ryan Pressly (HOU):

• Hunter Greene / Art Warren (CIN):

• Luis García / Phil Maton (HOU):
  • Became the first pair of pitchers in Major League history to throw an immaculate inning on the same date, let alone the same game or by the same team against the Texas Rangers on June 15. They both struck out Nathaniel Lowe, Ezequiel Duran and Brad Miller.[60]

• Madison Bumgarner (ARI):

  • Recorded his 200th career save by closing out a victory against the Philadelphia Phillies on August 13. He became the 53rd player to reach this mark.[65]

• Dylan Cease (CWS):

• George Kirby (SEA):
  • Started the game against the Washington Nationals on August 24 with 24 straight strikes, setting a Major League record for most consecutive strikes to start a game since 1988, when pitch-tracking began. He broke the record that was set by Joe Musgrove in 2018 with 21 straight strikes.[68]

• Houston Astros:
  • Won their 10th consecutive Opening Day contest by defeating the Los Angeles Angels 3–1 on April 7, tying the Major League record set by the Boston Beaneaters (1887–1896).[69]

• Tampa Bay Rays:
  • Became the first team in Major League history to lose a no-hitter in extra innings and win in a walk-off on April 23. The Rays had a combined no-hitter broken up in the top of the 10th by the Boston Red Sox, and won the game in the bottom of the inning.[73]

• Dusty Baker (HOU):
  • Won his 2,000th game as a manager as the Astros defeated the Seattle Mariners on May 3. He becomes the 12th manager to reach this mark.[74]

• Pittsburgh Pirates:
  • With their 1–0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on May 15, the Pirates became the sixth team since 1901 to win a game, despite being no-hit. However, the Reds only pitched eight innings, so it is not officially counted as a no-hitter by the Elias Sports Bureau.[75]
  • Became the first team in Major League history to have three different players log three-homer games in the same month. Jack Suwinski did it first on June 19, while Bryan Reynolds accomplished it on June 29 and Michael Perez was the third on June 30.[76]

• Yadier Molina (STL):
  • Set the Major League record for most putouts by a catcher by catching a foul ball on June 14 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In the sixth inning, Molina caught the record-breaking pop off the bat of Ke'Bryan Hayes. Molina's 14,685th putout broke the record held by Ivan Rodriguez.[77]

• St. Louis Cardinals:
  • Hit four consecutive home runs against the Philadelphia Phillies on July 2, tying the Major League record. This was the first time in Cardinals history and eleventh in Major League history. The group of Nolan Arenado, Nolan Gorman, Juan Yepez and Dylan Carlson accomplished this feat, with all four home runs hit off Kyle Gibson in the first inning.[80]

• Minnesota Twins:
  • Turned the first 8–5 triple play in Major League history on July 4 against the Chicago White Sox. Byron Buxton caught a deep fly ball at the right-center field wall and threw into the infield, where third baseman Gio Urshela put out a pair of baserunners.[81]

• Robbie Grossman (ATL)/(DET):
  • His Major League record of 440 consecutive errorless games by a position player came to an end on July 10 against the Chicago White Sox. Grossman misplayed a flyball in the eighth inning as he was charged with his first error in more than four years. The last error he committed was on June 13, 2018.[82]

• Boston Red Sox:
  • Set a modern-era Major League record with a -47 run differential over a three-game span (July 16, 17, and 22).[83]

• Jesse Chavez (LAA)/(ATL):
  • Set the record for most times traded in their career after being traded to the Los Angeles Angels on August 2. This trade was the tenth time that Chavez was traded.[84]

• Washington Nationals:
  • With starter Patrick Corbin's victory on August 28 against the Cincinnati Reds, a starting pitcher got a victory for the first time in 43 games, which is now a Major League record. The last victory by a starting pitcher for the Nationals was on July 6 against the Philadelphia Phillies.[87]

• The renamed Cleveland Guardians use a new "Guardians" wordmark logo, a "diamond C" logo on the caps, and an alternate "winged G" logo on the right sleeve of the home uniforms. The players' names and numbers are also printed in a new font that the team states "represents the unique characteristics of Cleveland with angular letters and numbers that mimic the architecture" of the Hope Memorial Bridge and its Guardians of Traffic statues. Other than that, the red, white and blue color schemes on the regular home and road uniforms, the red alternate home uniform, and the blue alternate road uniform basically remain unchanged.[88]
• The Royals have made some stylistic changes, including using "Kansas City" in block letters on the road uniforms.[89]
• The Rays modified their Columbia blue alternate uniform, replacing the wordmark with the alternate sunburst logo.
• All teams wore modified uniforms on April 15, Jackie Robinson Day. The back of each uniform has Robinson's no. 42 rendered in a bold Dodger blue font. Patches on the left sleeve contain the no. 42 rendered in the team's regular number font.

Major League Baseball and Nike announced that an additional seven teams adopted "City Connect" uniforms inspired by the teams' home cities.[90][91] These teams join the Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, and the San Francisco Giants who unveiled their City Connect uniforms during the prior season.[91]

• The Nationals' "City Connect" uniform featured an anthracite base, pink accents and printed cherry blossoms in honor of the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival.[92]

• The Padres' "City Connect" uniform featured a white base, pink and mint sleeves, and San Diego on the front in honor of the culture of both the city of San Diego and Tijuana.[98]

Anniversaries and special events

• All dates as scheduled and subject to change

This is the first year of the new seven year deals with ESPN, Fox Sports, Turner Sports, Apple, NBC Sports/Peacock, and MLB Network.

Fox Sports renewed its television rights for regular season games for both the main Fox broadcast network and FS1. For the first time since 2013, Fox will air at least two or three games each Saturday evening beginning May 28 (except two weeks in September which will air on Thursday nights due to college football), as Fox’s new contract will ensure more games air on the Fox network. Fox will broadcast the 2022 MLB All-Star Game and the 2022 MLB at Field of Dreams game.[112]

The ESPN networks will see a decrease in its games from prior years. ESPN will continue to air the national opening night game, this year airing on ESPN2 due to ESPN covering the Masters on the main network, and 25 exclusive Sunday Night Baseball telecasts as well as the Home Run Derby and other select telecasts. Under the new deals, ESPN will no longer televise weekly telecasts on Monday or Wednesday nights.[113] ABC and ESPN2 will also carry select games this season. ESPN+ will also air daily games which will simulcast regional sports network broadcasts, unlike ESPN’s NHL package, with blackout restrictions applicable.[114]

TBS will see an increase in its games, switching from airing 13 late season Sunday afternoon games to a weekly Tuesday night game all season long.[115]

MLB Network will continue to show their usual slate of games under their Showcase package.

Apple TV+ is the first non-television platform to air exclusive MLB games on a regular basis. Two games will air on Friday nights and are available in the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. For the first 12 weeks of the season games will be free, following that time fans must pay for Apple TV+ to watch the games. Apple TV+ also offers "MLB Big Inning," a live show featuring highlights and look-ins airing every weeknight during the regular season.[116]

After airing a three-game weekend series between the Phillies and Giants last season, the streaming service Peacock signed a regular deal for a new Sunday morning package. The first game under the new 18-game package will also be simulcast on NBC, who will air their first game since the 2000 ALCS. The rest of the package will air exclusively on Peacock’s premium service.

For a fourth straight year, YouTube will air 15 exclusive weekday afternoon games.[117]

Under the new deals, the ESPN networks (including ABC) hold exclusive rights to the new Wild Card rounds created by the expanded playoffs.[118] The rest of the postseason rights remain the same, including the annual league rotation among the networks. The rest of the American League postseason, the ALDS and ALCS, will air on TBS, while the rest of the National League postseason will mostly air on Fox and FS1, which include the NLDS (most games) and NLCS exclusively. The World Series will be carried by Fox for the 23rd straight year.[112][113][115]

With the move of Joe Buck to ESPN and Monday Night Football (and any role he holds involving ESPN's baseball coverage is to be determined), Fox Sports has named Joe Davis as his replacement;[119] Buck had called World Series games since Fox's first in 1996, and exclusively since the 2000 Series.
