A's Pitcher Sean Manaea Considering Wearing Mask in Games for 2020 MLB Season

Oakland Athletics pitcher Sean Manaea said Sunday he is considering wearing a mask while playing during the 2020 season.

"You know, wear something different or find a way to jazz it up, or find a way to rock it, I guess," Manaea said, per Alex Coffey of The Athletic.

It's unclear if Major League Baseball will place any restrictions on mask-wearing while on the field. Pitchers are often not allowed to wear anything that could distract hitters from seeing a pitch.

Manaea is expected to be one of the top arms in the A's rotation this season.
