Message: [QUOTE="Deepster, post: 5308825, member: 25"] Interesting. I'm not sure how the pitch clock results in more injuries, but if the numbers lead to that, I guess it's worth exploring. I do think spin rate and the need for a pitcher to have a hard slider or nasty forkball or a very good changeup is a cause. If you rely on a fastball and mediocre other "stuff", you can't get anyone out anymore. You can't nibble or overpower them. I watched a Mets game this weekend where the reliever came in and threw 7 straight sliders. [/QUOTE]
