Plate Work In Cleveland
The Cleveland Indians began moving home plate 15 feet farther from the stands, making it 60 feet from the stands instead of 45. The change aims to improve batter sight lines and reduce the extreme grade that caused catchers to stumble on foul pops. The club also said contract signings will not be released until Feb 24, the day before spring training opens in Tucson, Arizona.
