"It's bulls---; it's driving me nuts," Whit Merrifield says after being hit in the head by a 94.5 mph fastball.

"There's no remorse or regard for throwing up and in. Pitchers don't have to hit anymore," he says.

"I'm sick of it. It's happening way too much out there," he adds.

The Atlanta Braves player is a player representative on MLB 's competition committee.
