Pitching Dominance Shocks All-Star Game | Spokane News

This year’s All-Star Game was a pitching clinic — the American League crushed the National League 4-0, with just two hits and 27 strikeouts across the contest. Even Bryce Harper struck out swinging in his lone at-bat, underscoring how hard it is to get a hit in today’s game. Junior Caminero of Tampa Bay narrowly avoided injury after being hit by a pitch, and with stars like Ohtani and Judge sidelined, his health was a major relief. The game spotlighted a broader debate: is baseball’s future leaning toward pitching dominance, or is it a symptom of deeper issues like salary caps and competitive imbalance? While fans crave offense, this year’s showcase was a masterclass in mound artistry — leaving everyone wondering how hitters will respond to this new era of dominance.
