MLB pondering a six-inning minimum rule for starting pitchers

[retread]

22. "Last season, 34.2% of pitchers to appear in an MLB game had Tommy John surgery at some point in their past."

I don't see how increasing the distance to home plate would have a positive effect on the injury rate.

The over emphasis on velocity, especially with young kids, will still be in place.
Emphasis on spin rate won't change.
Pitch clock will remain or even be shorter.

Baseball rewards velocity and spin. Statcast, a tool of the "laptop brigade", measures these parameters among many others.
Increasing distances, base size, wider base paths, goosing the baseball, etc., are just tinkering around the edges.

I understand it is impossible to put the genie back in the bottle. I am admittedly nostalgic for the times when managers had more autonomy. Instead of classic Earl Weaver we get instant replay.
