Every pitcher in the league knows it. MLB doesn\u2019t give a damn about it. They don\u2019t care. We have told them our problems with them, they don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bassitt said there is too much inconsistency among the baseballs being used this season, and the problem is exacerbated in different climates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no common ground with the balls,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is nothing the same, outing to outing.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"702\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Chris-Bassitt-2-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Chris Bassitt\" class=\"wp-image-22050063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Chris-Bassitt-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Chris-Bassitt-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Chris-Bassitt-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Chris-Bassitt-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Chris Bassitt<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Last year, MLB outlawed the use of sticky substances by pitchers because of a fear they detracted from offense.

As far as I\u2019m concerned, put an on-deck circle behind the mound, give them a pine tar rag, the sunscreen and the rosin and let them use that stick. That stuff has proven it\u2019s not going to improve somebody\u2019s arsenal. It\u2019s going to give them grip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mets batters have been hit by 18 pitches this season, which leads MLB. Pete Alonso got drilled in the helmet Tuesday, the second time this season he has been plunked above the neck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one of those things, whether it\u2019s intentional or not it has to stop,\u201d Starling Marte said. \u201cWe\u2019re tired of it and we\u2019re going to have to do something about it if it continues to happen because it is uncomfortable every time you go out there to get hit.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
