"MLB Implements Pitch Clock Modification and Rule Updates"

Major League Baseball has announced several rule changes for the upcoming season, including widening the Runner's Lane, reducing the time between pitches with runners on base, and reducing mound visits from five to four per game. However, the players on the Competition Committee voted against these changes, stating that they believe immediate additional changes are unnecessary and that the focus should be on examining the health and safety impacts of previous rule changes.

MLB Implements Changes to Speed Up Game and Improve Competition

Major League Baseball's competition committee has approved several rule changes for the 2024 season, including reducing the pitch timer by two seconds to 18 seconds with men on base and widening the runner's lane to first base. Other changes aim to improve the pace of the game, such as reducing mound visits from five to four per game and requiring pitchers who warm up at the start of an inning to face at least one batter. The pitch timer will now reset after a dead ball, and the clock will reset to 2:00 during pitching changes if it is under two minutes. These changes follow the success of previous rule changes in 2023, which resulted in a 24-minute decrease in average game times.

The clarifications ahead of March 30 openers were contained in a four-page memo sent by MLB senior vice president Michael Hill to managers, general managers and assistant general managers.
