MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark expressed concern Friday over how MLB teams are utilizing pitchers.
Per ESPN's Jesse Rogers, Clark spoke to reporters prior to Game 1 of the 2024 World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, and said the following regarding teams' philosophies on deploying pitchers:
"The conversations that we've had with our players have suggested that unless or until you draw a line in the sand and force change, that the decision-makers on any one particular team are going to continue to make the decisions that they're making, which is have pitchers'—starting and relievers—max effort for the period of time that they can have them.
