The advent of the pitch clock in Major League Baseball may be upon us. That's according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, who notes that Commissioner Rob Manfred is determined to get the clock into games, perhaps by as early as next season—and that, as opposed to last winter, he may finally have the support of the players. In a meeting held in early August in Washington, D.C. between representatives of the commissioner's office, the players' union and players from the Nationals and Marlins, Manfred reportedly came away feeling positive that a pitch clock could be ticking away during a game by 2018.
