I disagree. This has less to do with the velocity of the pitchers (don't get me wrong velocity is a part of it) and more to do with hitters approaches at the plate. If you make pitchers throw curveballs at a longer distance expect more injuries. The answer in my opinion is move the fences back. I know the complaints will be from owners about less seats, but are we really going to risk even more injuries to pitchers by moving the mound back? Not only will it be tougher for guys to go up to the plate looking for a home run, but the outfield will probably have to play deeper allowing more balls to fall in and wait for it.....contact will be rewarded. The truth is there are really only so many great pitchers now in the game. I strongly disagree with putting guys like deGrom and Cole at greater risk of injury because guys like Sanchez, Torres, and Conforto want to be home run hitters.
