In the 2023 season, Major League Baseball officials added the pitch clock to aid the speed of the game. After the season and now into 2024, I’ve seen that the pitch clock has been very useful and has accelerated the pace of the game.
The MLB announced the pitch clock — a 30-second timer in between batters — in September 2022. Between pitches, a 15-second timer would be in place when the bases are empty and a 20-second timer would be in place with runners on base.
This addition has been seen before in college baseball, with the NCAA adding the clock in 2011.
