New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole wasn't satisfied with the league's response to concerns from the Major League Baseball Players Association regarding the health impacts since the pitch clock rule change in 2023.
"When I read the response from MLB — I didn't think it was very thorough," Cole said, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. "To be able to say you implement something in one year and it has no effect is shortsighted. We are really going to understand the effects of what the pitch clock is maybe five years down the road, but to dismiss it out of hand, I didn't think it was helpful for the situation.
