## Resource

Mookie Betts says baseball is thriving with new rules like the pitch clock and bigger bases, making the game faster and more exciting — but he’s got one thing he’d like to vanish: position players pitching in blowouts. He argues it kills the competition and calls for games to be called when non-pitchers take the mound in lopsided contests. While MLB tried to curb this trend with rules, appearances are creeping back up. Off the field, Betts is designing jerseys with Corona — with a twist: only if teams keep their position players off the mound.
