Taking out the fielder on a double play also helped make it so any immobile stiff can play second base now. It used to Be every team had one or two guys who couldn’t hit but were so good in the field they played. The defensive player is gone now.
I think part of why these pitchers are so fragile now too is youth baseball, AAU especially really abuses some of these kids. I’ve seen guys throw 3 complete games in a week. But that might Be done with today. The scouts also aren’t looking for guys who can pitch it’s just the radar gun. So they’re pitching all the time to gain exposure to scouts/colleges and when they do they are just throwing at max effort.
Guys in the past were artists on the mound. There’s a lot of kids out there w real talent who have blown their arms out by 19.
