Major League Baseball has approached the Trump administration about hosting a game at a national park, officials from the White House and MLB confirmed Saturday.
I don't have a good primary source link but what the actual fuck?

Bring me out of mothballs and Iâll bean the Circus Peanut in Chief as he bats at no charge.

It's in the field of play for foul balls, throwing errors, etc. It's a pretty infrequent issue, that the existence of a structure on the field would (IMO) be an overreaction with unintended consequences.
Yes, catchers can rarely take their eyes off the ball on pop-ups behind the plate; they wouldn't want to have to worry about obstacles on the field.
Maybe it should be a cage? Or at least a shield of some sort.

Well, the circle is about 40' back and to the side. Not "plenty" but just enough distance that a professional athlete should be able to avoid this. Bregman was probably about 25' from the plate. I'll bet they consider making it a rule that the player can't leave the circle.
Brutal. I never understood* why a player would get so far off the circle. It's not magical protection but everyone else in the area is wearing armor.
*okay it's to try to sneak in close enough to get a feel for the pitcher but ... maybe that circle is going to be enforced now.
There's nothing sacred about being on your teams side if you're "on deck". Why not use both sides for both teams, and put the player behind the batter?
Keeping them in the circle would be a good idea also.
Chicago Cubs third base Alex Bregman suffers multiple facial fractures after being struck in the face by a foul ball while not being in the on deck circle on Sunday.
