The other changes include the introduction of a pitch clock to speed up the game. A pitcher has 30 seconds between batters and will have 15 seconds with the bases empty to start his pitch motion between pitches, and 20 seconds to get there with a man or men on base.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.A hitter who doesn’t get into the box eight seconds into the start of the clock will be charged with a strike to his count.
The size of the bases will also increase in 2023 which should protect baserunners and potentially increase action on the basepaths. “The second you throw over twice the guy is going to steal right away,” Gausman said. Pitchers can throw over a third time but if they are unsuccessful, the baserunner will be awarded the next base.“I think Rob wants offence to make the game more exciting so that’s why he’s taking away the shift,” Gausman said.
“I don’t like to see our game change,” the self-admitted old-school ballplayer said. “I watched my Dad play for the first 12 years of my life. Fell in love with the game so I hate to see it change.”
