Is a baseball grass infield safer than a dirt one?

Answer 1

That is a question that I have been looking at for a while. I have found that it does slow the ball down but not 100% sure it make it safer. I have seen only 1 Major League park that the only DIRT on the field is around each base, Home, and the pitchers mound, Minnesota Twins. It looks nicer and would reduce maintenance cost. We are looking at doing that as our fields hold water and makes mud on the dirt areas, so it would help us to get our games on faster.
