Max Scherzer Suspended 10 Games for Sticky Substance Use.
TL;DR Summary
The MLB's crackdown on sticky substances used by pitchers is back in the spotlight after umpires ejected Max Scherzer for having a consistently overly sticky pitching hand. The league warned teams in March that umpires would be ramping up sticky-stuff security checks. More stick means more spin, which means more strikeouts, and fewer hits. If umpires are willing to make an example out of Scherzer, then no one caught with sticky substances is safe.
