Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer criticized Major League Baseball for its new foreign-substance policy on Tuesday night, calling the decision "a mess."
MLB released a memo Tuesday detailing an updated policy regarding foreign substances on baseballs. If any substance is found on a ball during a game, a pitcher can be ejected and suspended for 10 days.
The new policy has drawn a flood of criticism from pitchers across baseball. Bauer noted Tuesday nearly all pitchers use some form of rosin and sweat to enhance grip on the baseball, and that banning those substances could result in injury or a loss of control for pitchers across the sport.
