If your major league player is the backup, change him to someone you want playing spring training games. If he is not in the lineup at all, then move onto the next step. Now go to the management page, and into the spring training section. Go to the two players that you want playing and make sure that the two boxes for pinch hitting are NOT checked off. This will force your manager to play them in all situations, rather than pinch hitting after a few AB. Hope this helps.

This is the very problem I have and created a thread for, the answer is unless you want to set a lineup daily and let that lineup get all the ABs, there is no way to keep them out. This to me is the glaring problem with spring training that I hope is changed for next season (2019 in game).

This would give the starters ~2 AB each game and then replace them for the second half with their respective backup. Would this work?
