Heading into the baseball season, there were some questions as to how the new MLB pitch clock would work out. Traditionalists were against the new addition to the game, despite the fact that it would help end games dragging on for no reason.
It took some time for the players to get used to the new way of life, but after a short while, things fell into place. And to the credit of MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, the pitch clock ended up being a major success.
To date during the 2023 season, only nine games of nine innings have eclipsed the three-hour and 30-minute mark.
