MLB Approves new "Protective Cap" for pitchers

The 2013-2014 Offseason has been memorable, with foreign signings, 10 Year contracts, Rule changes (Instant Replay), and lots more. Well, now we can add another event to the offseason, new Protective Caps are now optional for pitchers. They will help stop concussions, and make pitchers more defensive. These new caps are heavier and bulkier, and so far aren't catching the players eyes. Brandon McCarthy, a victim of being "drilled" in the head, will NOT wear the new cap. I expect this to slowly evolve into the game. MLB's hope is that in 2020, at least 66% of pitchers are wearing the cap. The caps will be legal effective this Baseball season.
