Speedier baseball games have arrived at college diamonds in 2023. They’re a hit with the University of New Mexico Lobos.
The pitch clock era is getting its first official at-bat with NCAA teams this season. Game times are down, technology is changing, and the Lobos have handled the transition with relative ease.
New Mexico (15-8, 5-3) hosts San Diego State (7-13, 4-3) for a Mountain West Series beginning Friday and fans who have not yet attended a game this season should expect a brisk, no-nonsense pace.
“I love it,” UNM coach Tod Brown said of new NCAA rules designed to bring the college game in line with its professional counterpart.
