Major League Baseball’s competition committee is set to vote on a series of rule changes on Friday that would take effect for the 2023 season. The rules are aimed at increasing the pace of the game and creating more activity on the field, according to ESPN’s Jesse Rogers.
The proposed new rules include a pitch clock, changes to the shift and increasing the size of the bases. Here’s a full breakdown of what is on the table, per ESPN:
- Pitch clock: A 15-second pitch clock with bases empty, and a 20-second pitch clock with base runners.
