    Pitchers who use illegal foreign substances to doctor baseballs will be ejected and suspended for 10 games in a crackdown by Major League Baseball that comes in response to record strikeouts and a historically low league batting average.http://apne.ws/oCMp2Vh

        But is this really the issue? Or can the human eye on track baseballs so fast, seems like everyone throws 95+ today

        Yes it is the issue. Spin rate is the problem, not velocity

        That’s good because if they let it go unchecked what’s next, a team will chest to win the World Series and nothing will happen?

        Record setting home runs in the 90’s led to cracking down on steroids and now we see the other end of the spectrum. Cheating seems to still be acceptable in MLB until it gets so rampant and carried away that records are set and broken.

        I thought such was always against the rules. Or is there "legal foreign substances" pitchers may apply to ball?

        It has always been against the rules, but never enforced. Pitchers have been using substances (spit, sunscreen, pine tar, dirt in the seams, etc) on the ball for decades.
