There are drastic changes coming to Major League Baseball in 2019 and 2020. Some changes are relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. But some could have a serious effect on the way the game is played—at least from a strategic standpoint.
Changes for the 2019 Season
Inning Breaks—The league will reduce the time between innings to two minutes. This is five seconds less for local broadcasts and 25 seconds less for national broadcasts. Furthermore, the league may reduce the inning breaks by another five seconds for local games in 2020.
