Baseball has looked much different during spring training. That’s due to a bunch of new rule changes that have gone into effect, including a limit on shifts and a pitch clock. But with Opening Day on the horizon, could MLB make tweaks to some rules?
It’s possible. Evan Drellich of The Athletic reported that changes could be made before the regular season officially starts. The early returns on these new rules have painted a positive picture for the time of play and pace of play. But they haven’t come without bumps in the road or concerns from players.
