Astros closer Ryan Pressly, measured as one of MLB's most methodical pitchers, isn't a fan of having to adjust his routine because of the incoming pitch clock.WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Ryan Pressly is a purist. He prefers playing a more traditional brand of baseball, free from the clocks and constraints that will soon consume the sport and force him into changing how he closes games.
“I’m old school. I’m not a big fan of it, but I don’t make the rules apparently,” Pressly said. “I can go quicker if I really wanted to, but if I’m on the mound, why do I need to go quicker if I don’t have to? But now that we have to, I can go quicker. I’m not a fan of it.” Perhaps no Astros pitcher will be more impacted by the pitch clock than Pressly, who averaged 23.7 seconds between pitches with the bases empty last season, according to Baseball Savant. Only five American League pitchers worked slower.
“I think every pitcher is taught to be on your own tempo, be controlled, breathe and slow the game down” Pressly said Saturday. “Now the pitch clock is going to affect that a little bit, but we’re all big leaguers. We can make an adjustment.”Pressly’s measurement on Baseball Savant does not necessarily indicate problems are looming in the pitch clock era. The website’s statistic measures the time between the release of two pitches.
