Get ready for more netting behind homeplate at Fenway Park next summer. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has issued new recommendations for all teams.

The plan calls for netting to extend from dugout to dugout(end closet to home plate) and within 70-feet of homeplate to protect fans at field level.

The Red Sox say they will adopt the plan and the club is now exploring various design options.

Back on June 5th, a fan was seriously injured by a foul ball. The fan was struck in the face and was hospitalized for a week.
