With the new pitch clock speeding up the sport, baseballs brain trust already is trying to figure out what might come next in its efforts to make games more exciting and keep them moving along.
“It’s a very subjective skill,” Sword said. “There’s lots of things that would work that would just irritate people too much to make it worth it.”
The average time of a nine-inning game has stretched from 2 hours, 30 minutes in the mid-1950s to 2:46 in 1989 and 3:10 in 2021. for events to happen. MLB tested dozens of possible solutions in the minor leagues during the past two years and some proved impractical.Future changes would be designed to increase batting averages and cut down on strikeouts that reached a historic high in 2021: The majors are whiffing at a rate higher than batters facing Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax.
Sword said he wants the dropped third strike rule extended to all pitches, but conceded: “Nobody likes that except for me." “Maybe I would have stolen six bases instead of five,” said Raúl Ibañez, who actually stole 50 bases in a major league career with five teams that stretched over 19 seasons and is now a baseball VP.
“Players are adapting right now,” Ibañez said. “We’re already seeing it in the data. At the major league level, these are the best athletes in the world, and they're the most adaptable.”That's where the analytics come in.
