Baseball is about to undergo a significant transformation with the introduction of the three-batter minimum rule for pitchers starting in the 2020 MLB season.
This rule mandates that a relief pitcher must face at least three batters or pitch until the end of a half-inning, unless an injury or illness occurs.
This change aims to quicken the pace of play and reduce the length of games by limiting the number of in-game pitching changes.
You might be wondering how this will affect the game you love. Imagine fewer interruptions during those crucial final innings, creating a more seamless and engaging experience.
