One thing ....... the pitcher DOES NOT THROW 90 feet at all.
The distance is 60 feet 6 inches.
I'm sure a lot of batters would like the pitchers to back up a little. Some of those long-armed pitchers look like they are right on top of you.

MLB's New Commissioner Is Open To Banning Defensive Shifts To Increase Scoring ((BARF ALERT))
(From 2015) -- In a recent interview with ESPN, new Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said, in an effort to increase scoring, he is open to banning one of the biggest changes to the sport in recent years, the increased use of defensive shifts.

Does this jerkoff, Rob Manfred, want to prohibit outfielders from playing deeper when a power hitter comes to the plate? Would the outfielders no longer to be able to shade toward the foul lines against strong pull hitters?
Does this "totalitarian moron" want to prevent first and third basemen's defense against possible upcoming sacrifice bunts?
If this guy were in charge of the NFL would he prohibit the "shotgun" formation for the QB ....... the "prevent defense"?
Insanity.
You throw 90 between bases. Like I said, most folks have no idea how hard it is to do accurately.
