Major League Baseball finds itself mired in another controversy, as a staggering amount of pitchers have continued using foreign substances on baseballs to increase their spin rates.
Looking to put a stop to this once and for all, the league reportedly will soon require umpires to regularly check with pitchers and determine if they are doctoring baseballs.
Los Angeles Dodgers starter Trevor Bauer, who was under investigation earlier this season for the same issue, is relieved MLB has made more of an effort to crack down on pitchers applying sticky substances on baseballs.
The right-hander, however, noted he wanted a fair playing field with regard to any potential new rules that may be implemented this season or in the future.
