There are going to be many effects a 60 game season and shortened “summer training camp” will have on teams. Every aspect of the game is going to be approached differently when it’s a sprint to the finish instead of a 162 game marathon.
Summer training camps started last week for all 30 MLB teams and they have until July 23 (or 24th) to get their players ready for action in games that count. That isn’t a lot of time to get a pitching staff stretched out and ready to pitch in games that matter, especially with less than three weeks until the season kicks off.
