Chicago Cubs: Pitch clock to be used in Spring Training
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced on Sunday that one pace-of-play initiative would be implemented for Spring Training in 2019: the pitch clock.
One rule change for 2019 Spring Training will affect every MLB team, including the Chicago Cubs: a pitch clock will be used throughout the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues, Commissioner Rob Manfred announced on Sunday.
Several other rule changes were recently discussed for the 2019 season, including a universal designated hitter and a requirement that each pitcher faces a minimum of three batters. However, the pitch clock is the only rule change that will be used for Spring Training.
