MLBs New Height Measurements: A Game-Changer for Players like Bo Naylor
The Major League Baseball has introduced a more precise height measurement system, with players now being measured down to the millimeter. This change, tied to the new automated ball-strike system, has led to a decrease in the official height of players like Bo Naylor, the Cleveland Guardians catcher. The new rules require players to be measured without shoes or hats, with knees out and back flat against the wall, between ten a.m. and noon local time. This setup allows for a more accurate strike zone based on each players actual height, which could potentially give players like Naylor an edge at the plate.
