The most dramatic moment of the new pitch clock era arrived on the first full day of spring games, and in the most dramatic scenario possible.
Players will have 30 seconds to resume play between batters. Between pitches, pitchers have 15 seconds with nobody on and 20 seconds if there is a baserunner. The pitcher must start his delivery before the clock expires. After a pitch, the clock starts again when the pitcher has the ball back, the catcher and batter are in the circle around home plate, and play is otherwise ready to resume.
Jim Bowden, a baseball analyst for CBS Sports HQ, and a former general manager for the Cincinnati Reds and Washington Nationals, told CBS News Friday that it would likely be a big adjustment for some pitchers. He explained that the pitch clock has already been instituted in the minor leagues for the past few seasons, and that it was found to be a success.
"I think there might be some growing pains the first few weeks of April when the season starts," Bowden said."But I think by May, I think most pitchers will be in a rhythm, and it will not be a factor."
