Major League Baseball announced three rules changes to take effect in the 2023 season. The players union has expressed disapproval of two of the new rules.
A pitch timer will limit the amount of time a pitcher can take between pitches. Pitchers will have up to 15 seconds between pitches when the bases are empty and up to 20 seconds between pitches with at least one runner on base. The change is expected to speed up the pace of play and shorten game times.Another new rule will put restrictions on the defensive shifts teams are allowed to employ.
"These steps are designed to improve pace of play, increase action, and reduce injuries, all of which are goals that have overwhelming support among our fans," Manfred said."Throughout the extensive testing of recent years, Minor League personnel and a wide range of fans -- from the most loyal to casual observers -- have recognized the collective impact of these changes in making the game even better and more enjoyable.
