Baseball is trying something new just like the NBA has a shot clock, the NFL has a play clock, baseball is trying out the pitch clock in the Double and Triple -A levels. The pitch clock is going to be near the on deck circle.
According to Yahoo Sports The MLB Committee held a meeting in September that would find ways to speed up games, which held a record of 3:08 in 2014. In 1984 the average time of game was 2:40, MLB has added almost 30 minutes to games in 30 years.
The pitch clock coming to the minors will be the same as the Arizona Fall League. Pitchers will have 20 seconds to get ready to pitch and violation will result in a ball.
New Cubs pitcher Jon Lester doesn't like the idea of a pitch clock saying "if you use a pitch clock your taking the beauty out of the game." But we all know that the players aren't going to want the pitch clock but if you can get a regular MLB game down to 2:40 by using a pitch clock im all for it. Baseball has gone downhill its becoming a sport where people are sleeping in the stands watching a Redsox Yankee game. They should speed it up to get fans more hyped about going or watching the game because its a great sport but its losing popularity.
