The Athletic | Evan Drellich and Ken Rosenthal (subscription Required): MLB rule changes are coming soon. A pitch clock, a ban on the defensive shift, and larger bases for next season are expected to be approved in a vote on Friday. The pitch clock will be 20 seconds with runners on, and 15 seconds without. For the shift, a minimum of four players besides the pitcher and catcher need both feet completely in front of the outer boundary of the infield dirt, and two fielders would need to be entirely on either side of second base, among other changes.
