The foreign substance crackdown is coming to MLB, and very soon. According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, it could be in place as soon as next Monday. That’s wild considering how few details have been provided on the massive change.
Olney said earlier in the week that MLB plans on having umpires heavily involved in policing the process. That would include 8-10 checks per game on both position players and pitchers as they see fit.
Olney spoke about the sweeping changes coming to MLB on the Rich Eisen Show this week.
