Is MLB Facing a Pitching Crisis? A new study suggests a link between increased velocity, max-effort pitching, and the alarming rise in pitcher injuries. Are we sacrificing long-term pitcher health for short bursts of high-octane performance? This raises some serious questions about player development, from youth leagues all the way up to the pros. Is the pressure to throw harder leading to unsustainable training practices? The study suggests exploring rule changes. What changes would you propose to protect pitchers without fundamentally altering the game? Is it time to rethink our obsession with velocity, or are there other underlying factors contributing to this injury epidemic? Let's discuss. I predict we'll see major rule changes within the next five years if this trend continues. What do you think?
