Van Horn unsure of proposed rule

FAYETTEVILLE — College baseball has proposed another rule change and Dave Van Horn said he expects the SEC to be among the first conferences to implement it.

Last month, the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee recommended a 20-second pitch clock that, unlike the current one, will continue to be used when runners are on base.

If the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approves the experimental rule when it discusses it Aug. 26, conferences across all three NCAA divisions will have the opportunity to apply to implement it.

The SEC was the first conference to use the current 20-second pitch clock, when it was used during the 2010 SEC Tournament.
