How Baseball Became A 'Dying Sport' 

First

Kids up until the 90s used to throw constantly. The more you throw the more strength they gain. When guys threw 250+ innings a year while topping out at 91 mph you rarely heard of major injuries like this. Imo It's a combination of a lot of different factors.

It is not because of the pitching clock, it’s simply the velocity you simply cannot try and throw a baseball 98-100mph 1k times a year and not expect there to be a price to pay. We used to teach kids to throw east to west with precision 93-94 was excellent at that time. Then about 10-12 years ago it became a North to South game with RPM’s being the main emphasis velocity and strikeouts attached with Exit velocity and launch angle or Homer or nothing. These changes have simply turned the game and I firmly believe the emphasis on north, south, rpm, velocity have caused this.

Pitching injuries have been on the raise every single year long before 2023 Pitch Clock You know what else was also on the raise every single year? Velocity and Spin rate Sure maybe the pitch clock has some input on the injuries however it would be very little

Less than a month in the regular season and we are already in a circus. I have a feeling an 82-80 team wins the world series since they won't be as injured by October.

Baseball is NOT DYING! Baseball around the world is thriving! Asian baseball I have seen first-hand, and it is growing. You should change this to MLB Baseball. American football is #1 also not baseball: In every major demographic group, football is the most common choice when the public is asked to identify America’s sport. It tops the list for men and women, for older and younger adults, and for White, Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans alike.

It’s less about the speed of the pitch and more about the spin rate.

if you don’t like pitch clock your a snob. It’s made games watchable. If pitchers are throwing their arms out that’s on them for throwing so damn fast

Blame the pitching coaches. All pitching coaches promote throwing hard, they are like NPCs at this point. You can become a pitching coach overnight at this rate...these guys don't care about a pitcher's health at all.

The clock isn't the issue here. Just look at some of these damn arm angles.

I truly think its a mix..... but leaning more towards they arent supposed to be throwing that hard....

no the most broken part of MLB is no salary cap by far

Idk i think the easiest step to take is to regulate some sticky thing they can use. I could dunk my hand in Dr. Pepper before an outing and get similar grip to pine tar. They can engineer a sticky powdered substance that can go in a bag.

Tigers still win the ws every year at so seems fine to me

Baseball became a dying sport because you can’t understand a WORD the best players in the league are saying and the All American players aren’t being promoted

Rob Manfred is the Joe Biden of league commissioner's.....he obliterates the most basic things....just look at the new uniforms...I'll come back to baseball when Manfred is gone.

the league is trying to control a a factor that isn’t in anyone’s control to begin with . every person is different and every person body is built and works differently. Changing the timing isn’t gonna affect every single player but it will affect those who’s body functions differently . They want the pitchers who throw more than 10 pitches an inning , ranging from 70 - 100 mph to do so in a fast manner . Common send me will tell you that’s not a good outcome . if the people that made those rules ever pitched in their life then they wouldn’t of have changed the rule . they basically chose saving tv money over their players heath at the end of the day z

Another entertaining video

Wasn't expecting to see a clip from Portsmouth RI highschool in here

Johns Hopkins - yes JohnS.

Your videos are solid, and you have good potential. My one criticism- try not to display so many upward inflections in your voice, like you're asking a question. Some of them sound really, REALLY forced. And cringe. And just overall feminine. Other than that, like your content for the most part

allowing a regulated "sticky stuff" would most likely be the best solution. or at least the right step forward

maybe pitchers need to go back and pitch like greg maddux and not care about speed or spin rate.

I can fix the issue with foreign substances. Bring back the juices 2019 ball and let pitchers use whatever they want on the damn thing. So it's balanced.

lol, baseball isn't broken at all. it's the best it has been since the late 80s when I first started watching it. Everything you mentioned happens in every single sport.

Perhaps reduce the distance between the pitcher and the batter ?
