The Cincinnati Reds plan to install additional protective netting that spans across the length of the dugouts on each side of Great American Ball Park.
Reds officials announced Thursday that the new netting will be installed during the offseason and will be in place by Opening Day next spring. They also said they will replace the existing netting behind home plate.
The moves comes a day after a young girl at Yankee Stadium was injured by a 105 mph foul ball off the bat of Todd Frazier during Wednesday's game against Minnesota, leading some players to call for protective netting to be extended.
