[–] doggone [OP] 2 points (+2|-0)

I don't know if it's true or not, but I like his explanation,

Rather, teams focus on max-effort, high-velocity relievers who go one or two innings tops, thus requiring catchers and utility guys to help do the mopping that actual pitchers used to do.

The other insight I liked was in the comments. Someone said something to the effect that "the author enjoys position players pitching, but not pitchers hitting".
