Former Yankees manager Joe Girardi supports MLB's new rules to limit defensive shifts and introduce a pitch clock.
Girardi believes these changes will help reduce player fatigue and the risk of injuries.
He voiced concerns over the high injury rates among young pitchers, attributing it to the extreme torque and strength of their pitches.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has suggested the possibility of implementing an automated strike zone in the future.
Girardi stressed the significance of secure sign-stealing prevention in light of the Astros scandal, praising technological aids like PitchCom.
