They need more netting along the foul lines. Reason: today’s MLB players can hit line drive foul balls into the stands with the impact force of a small caliber pistol bullet, especially now with supposedly more “bouncy” baseballs now used.

Screens now extend past 1st and 3rd base, or beyond the dugout, whichever is farther.

They just extended the netting prior to last season.
Are we going to enclose the entire seating area now?

A couple of weeks ago, Joey Gallo (TX Rangers) hit a line drive down the first base line. It exited the playing field in just over 3 seconds. Even the announcers were astonished at the speed/power of it.
