The Toronto Blue Jays will replace and expand the protective netting at Rogers Centre for the 2018 season.
The new netting will be extended to the outfield end of each dugout, the team said Monday in a release.
In addition, existing netting behind home plate will be replaced and increased in height by about three metres.
The team said the existing netting meets Major League Baseball's recommended guidelines, but the newly installed netting will exceed those standards.
The changes will be made in time for the Blue Jays' home opener against the New York Yankees on March 29.
Several teams announced plans last year to add more netting to better protect fans.
