Rob Manfred Says Pitch Clock Is High on 'Priority List' for MLB Owners After Lockout

Major League Baseball is still hoping to implement a pitch clock throughout the league.

Appearing on SportsCenter (h/t ESPN.com's David Schoenfield), MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said that a pitch clock "remains high on the priority list of ownership."

"We have a great game, but historically I think the game was a little crisper the way it moved along," he added. "It had a little more action in it, more frequent balls in play, and getting back to that form of baseball would be an improvement for us, for the players and for the fans.
