Major League Baseball’s new pitch clock is going to take some getting used to. You can ask Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland about that.
Making his first Cactus League start on Sunday against Milwaukee, Freeland struggled a bit with the new rule, which gives pitchers 15 seconds to deliver a pitch with nobody on base and 20 seconds if there is a baserunner. Freeland gave up three runs on six hits over three innings.
The lefty is using PitchCom (the electronic signal device) for the first time this spring and he told MLB.com that he’s still getting used to it.
