The Texas Rangers season starts Thursday and there are a few rule changes this year that could make things more exciting.
Major League Baseball is introducing a slate of new rules for the 2023 season. Here is a breakdown:
DUNEDIN, FL - FEBRUARY 15: A detail shot of an Official Rawlings baseball on the field with a pitch clock in the background as new rule changes are demonstrated to assembled media during the On-Field Rules Demonstration at TD Ballpark on Wednesday, FThe pitch clock aims to speed the pace of play by eliminating down time between pitches. Players will have 30 seconds to resume play between batters. Between pitches, pitchers have 15 seconds with nobody on and 20 seconds if there is a baserunner.
Batters must be in the box and alert to the pitcher with at least eight seconds on the clock. Batters can call time once per plate appearance, stopping the countdown.When a pitcher fails to throw a pitch in time, the penalty is an automatic ball. When a batter isn’t ready in time, it’s an automatic strike.
Clocks will be positioned behind home plate and beyond the outfield, where pitchers and hitters can easily see them.ARLINGTON, TEXAS - AUGUST 05: Bubba Thompson #65 of the Texas Rangers dives back to first base ahead of the pick-off throw to Jose Abreu #79 of the Chicago White Sox in the seventh inning at Globe Life Field on August 05, 2022 in Arlington, Texas.
If a runner advances during a plate appearance, the limit on disengagements is reset. Mound visits, injury timeouts and offensive team timeouts are not considered disengagements.With a focus on disengagements, umpires may be stricter in calling balks for pitchers who don’t come to a complete stop in their stretch.
