Marcus Stroman is getting used to Major League Baseball’s new pitch clock. And it’s no small deal for the Cubs right-hander.
“It’s tough,” he said. “It’s a big adjustment.”
Stroman committed baseball’s first regular-season pitch-clock violation Thursday in the third inning of the Cubs’ 4-0 victory over Milwaukee on Opening Day. It was the first of 14 violations in 15 games on a day the average game time was 2 hours, 45 minutes.
