MLB reportedly wants to include a pitch clock in the CBA negotiations
While MLB and the MLBPA continue their collective bargaining agreement negotiations on Sunday, one thing MLB wants to include is a pitch clock.
MLB would like to add a 14-second pitch clock when the bases are empty and a 19-second pitch clock when runners are on base,According to Rogers, MLB’s experiments with pitch clocks in lower leagues helped them arrive at this conclusion. MLB first started using a pitch clock in the, but expanded its use to the Low-A last year. As a result, Low-A game times decreased by around 20 minutes.
The reasoning behind the specific time benchmark came from Low-A as well. Rogers explained MLB used 15 and 17 seconds at that level, and the league determined it could decrease time with bases empty but needed to add time with runners on. In the November GM Meetings, MLB executives shared their thoughts on the pitch clock, and most liked the possibility of adding it to the game, according to“Feedback was really good,” Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. “I was just in the Fall League last week and wasn’t sure what to expect. Saw it in Rancho [Cucamonga] and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But there is a pace to things that I appreciated.
