Back in February 2017 I did a deep dive on Length and Pace of Games. (yes, I’m linking that again, humor me). After doing that research, it was obvious to me what the issues were and what the fixes were. Reducing the time between pitches and reducing the number of pitches thrown were the two most important things that needed to happen to get game pace back in line. I also believed, although couldn’t prove it at the time that a benefit of improved pace would be more contact, and fewer strikeouts and walks. In other words a more interesting game to watch.
