MLB Considers Plan to Restart Baseb Season in May
MLB reportedly considering bizarre plan to restart season in May: All 30 teams play in Phoenix area, players and coaches sit spaced out in stands not dugoutwww.mediaite.com
apr 7 2020 Per ESPN, the league’s plan “would dictate all 30 teams play games at stadiums with no fans in the greater Phoenix area, including the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Chase Field, 10 spring training facilities and perhaps other nearby fields. Players, coaching staffs and other essential personnel would be sequestered at local hotels, where they would live in relative isolation and travel only to and from the stadium, sources said. Federal officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the National Institute of Health have been supportive of a plan that would adhere to strict isolation, promote social distancing and allow MLB to become the first professional sport to return.”
In addition, the league is proposing other, possible in-game rule changes to comply with public health rules to stop the spread of coronavirus. These could include:
- Players and coaches sitting in the stands, spaced at least six feet apart, rather than in the dugout.
– Using an electronic strike zone to calls balls and strikes, so the home plate umpire could remain separated from the batter and catcher.
– No mound visits from catchers or coaches.
– Implementing seven-inning double-headers, to possibly catch up on missed games and achieve a 162-game regular season.
