This is somewhat of an aside, and clearly anecdotal, but I watch a lot of MLB, and players sure seem to be hurt more than I remember in the past. Perhaps it was a different, if unfortunate mentality about playing through injuries. The monster team investments in players obviously contribute to a greater "protection of assets" strategy. Still, other than routine plays, it looks to me that players are hurt/shaken up/distressed by almost every play. The foolishness of head-first slides should be mentioned. Is the obligatory "players are bigger and faster" mantra not seemingly at odds with the constant drumbeat of "players are in better shape than ever?"

You make a fair point. There are several reasons why players are more injured than ever now.

I believe overuse of players can be a big reason why. When I played baseball, it was pretty much year-round. Fall season, spring season, and summer season. Basically, those want to go far and get a college scholarship need to play the sport all year long and just focus on it. It's not rare at all for great young athletes to be playing for their school or local park and represent a travel team at the same time. 

Velocity for pitchers is definitely another reason. Pitchers are throwing harder than ever nowadays. There are lots of stats backing that point. This has created additional stress on the shoulder and elbow, thus increasing the Tommy John surgery rates.

Also, the MLB season is long and up until the last couple of seasons, games were averaging over 3 hours. This only increases the risk of any player getting hurt for whatever reason.

Thank you for your insights, and you also make solid points. 

I only played through college, so my experience is limited, and it was 50 years ago. The pitching velocity issue is, for sure, a significant factor. Perhaps the length and amount of baseball in a season is also substantial, but this hasn't changed much since my time. The same number of games and ST, except some additional playoffs, granted. With the DH, pitchers aren't batting, of course. Yet, many of the defensive plays in every game involving pitchers end up with medical staff on the field. Bunts, covering first, you name it. Unfortunately, I simply do not buy the "better" players. In truth, equipment, training, nutrition, specialized coaching, medical care, and even playing field quality/care/safety measures are better than ever. Pitching velocity and home runs have increased, yet we must consider whether these are good things, especially the velocity contribution to injuries you mentioned. The reduced game times may result in fewer injuries, as you noted, but I would wager this will not be the case. A lot of it is a big change in team strategy because of player contract costs. That is true. Yet, even with all these things and the "savior" DH, league averages aren't improving in the face of the pitching fiasco, and, to the theme of this discussion, players are not more durable despite all their advantages. Then there are the player entitlement and attitude problems of modern players, which is, of course, a microcosm of the overall society.

 Pitchers are throwing harder than ever nowadays. that not the big problem. for Pitchers . as the Pitch Clock is . injures went from 30 mlb Pitchers to 65. and that was also the case in Minors where injures are up.  Mlb did study and part of the report was said to be missing .  I ask how many players should be throwing 90mph  3 to 4 times in 18 to 20 sec.?  then i also thing pitcher throwing less changeups nowdays compare to fastball.    Players on feild seem more  fatigue Players and less strech out now days.  I can remember when Ken Griffey JR went to the Reds . He said he love the on feild workouts more  then the weight room.   and was getting injure more  when reds trying to put him in the weight room.   maybe 90's and early days workouts was right  RUNNING as the main thing .example of that would be station nowdays. how much he injure . hiis off season workouts..    Than again i do say pitcher now days have pour grip and poor pitcher trowing style .    just a  my opion  lol .
