Baseball has an overengineering problem and pitchers are dropping like flies
Briefly

By the time you finish reading this piece, yet another Major League Baseball pitcher may have gone down with a significant arm injury. Unlikely? Well, consider this: just as I began jotting down this piece, news came in that 26-year-old Nationals hurler Josiah Gray is out for who knows how long with a right forearm/flexor strain.
The commissioner's office... retorted by saying that the MLBPA ignores the empirical evidence and much more significant long-term trend, over multiple decades, of velocity and spin increases that are highly correlated with arm injuries.
Because they need to find out how to turn a pastime that's suffering from redesigned uniforms that showcase players' private parts, and a gambling scandal which has affected baseball's only global superstar, Shohei Ohtani.
