MLB and MLBPA Clash Over Pitch Clock Safety Concerns

The MLB Players Association expressed concern over the impact of MLB's rule changes, particularly the pitch clock, as pitching injuries, including elbow injuries, continue to mount. MLB fired back, citing empirical evidence and a comprehensive research study into the causes of long-term increases in velocity and spin. The league's competition committee approved a change to the pitch clock rule in December, shortening the time with runners on base to 18 seconds. Serious pitching injuries are on the rise, with several players, including Shane Bieber and Spencer Strider, requiring Tommy John surgery. The MLBPA voted against the 2024 rule changes, emphasizing the need to gather additional data and fully examine the health and safety impacts of reduced recovery time.
