I know from the Jays standpoints, they've used a franchise record number of players basically every season the last decade. Maybe part of it is the fact that more guys nowadays throw harder?

I am no doctor, but anecdotally I have to think that it has to do with guys throwing harder. I've heard a lot of guys who have been around the game for a long time say how pitchers are now being taught to give max effort on every pitch, which also might explain why fastball command has become a lost art.
