I do not see the knuckeball becoming more prevalent in MLB. The pitch is so difficult to throw.

The knuckleball is a very difficult pitch to throw, a very difficult pitch to master, and a very difficult pitch to be used affectively. That's why the majority of the pitchers out there don't bother with it. Even with the rash of arm injuries, I just don't see the knuckleball suddenly becoming a go-to or much-used pitch amongst today's starters . . .
