Major League Baseball is close to new recommendations for safety netting at its stadiums for the 2016 season.
Commissioner Rob Manfred said Thursday that it was “absolutely clear” that there would be changes. But there was more work to be done, he said, adding that he was not prepared to go into details.
“In addition to a recommendation on the physical location of nets, there will be a broad fan education component to the program," Manfred said after owners had finished their quarterly meeting in Dallas.
There were several instances of fans injured by foul balls at major league games this year.
