Major League Baseball rule changes will be interesting regarding mound visits.

The latest attempt by Major League Baseball to speed up the pace of play is to limit the amount of mound visits in a game to six total. After the sixth visit, every subsequent visit it is required that the pitcher must be removed from the game. This will definitely be interesting especially those teams who seem to make a lot of pitching changes.

It should definitely speed games up somewhat as some managers and coaches really abuse the mound visits which brings some games down to a snails pace. However, other than having to take the pitcher out right away after the seventh mound visit in a given game.
