Could installing two first bases on the field — one in fair territory for fielders, another in foul territory for runners — prevent injuries like Arraez's in the future?

San Diego Padres designated hitter Luis Arraez was knocked unconscious after colliding with Houston Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubón in the top of the first inning during the MLB game between the San Diego Padres and Houston Astros at Daikin Park on April 20, 2025 in Houston.

Arraez ran directly into Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubón while trying to reach first after a sacrifice bunt in the first inning of the matchup at Daikin Park. Arraez and Dubón collided hard, and both immediately fell to the ground, though Dubón quickly jumped back up.
