Daily News | Slow-moving pitcher Andrew Bellatti has come to appreciate MLB’s new pitch clock
Andrew Bellatti was not just the Phillies’ slowest-working pitcher last season; he was also one of the slowest-working pitchers in baseball.
The coaching staff used pitch clocks in live batting practice so that everyone could get used to it. One day, Bellatti got three violations. In retrospect, he said it was a good thing. It was a wake-up call. He was going to have to trim more time between pitches.Baseball Savant says he is now averaging 13 seconds, a 5.6 drop from the 18.6 seconds he was averaging in 2022. There are plenty of pitchers who have voiced concerns about the pitch clock.
“I actually think it has been helpful. I think I’ve made a big improvement in making competitive pitches. Even in the home opener [against Cincinnati], I got to a couple of 3-2 counts, but I looked at the video and all of the pitches were very competitive. I think it’s allowed me to get into a good rhythm.”
“It doesn’t allow me to think about the last pitch I threw for a ball,” Bellatti said. “It’s always moving on to the next pitch. So I think that’s helped me. Keep moving, don’t stall, don’t think about the previous pitch.”
