Colorado Rockies: MLB officially announces their new rule changes for 2020

There will be plenty of rules changes in Major League Baseball in 2020 but some were not previously reported so let’s take a look at all of the changes.

Three-Batter Minimum

This is one of the rules that has been reported on and by the reactions of most fans, it seems to be a mixed bag.

All pitchers must face a minimum of three batters, including the batter then at bat (or any substitute batter). The exceptions are when an inning is completed, a pitcher sustains an injury or illness in which, in the judgment of the umpire crew chief’s, incapacitates him from continuing on in the game.
