NCAA proposes using play clocks to speed college baseball games: report

The NCAA Baseball Rules Committee is apparently concerned about the length of games.

It's why it was announced Friday the committee wants 20-second play clocks for all Division I games.

If approved on Aug. 15 by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, the use of the clocks would be effective for the 2019 season.

The proposal said the 20-second play clocks - one in the home plate area, and the other would be located in or behind the outfield wall, would start once the pitcher steps on the dirt portion of the mound with the baseball.
