According to the regulations, a pitcher must throw the ball within 15 seconds when the base is empty and within 20 seconds when there is a runner.  안전 토토사이트


In the case of batters, they must take a batting posture 8 seconds before the pitch clock is over.


If a pitcher breaks the rules, he or she will be given one ball and if a batter breaks the rules, he or she will be given one strike.


The effect of introducing the pitch clock was clear. Since its introduction, the average game time in the MLB regular season has been 2 hours and 39 minutes, 25 minutes shorter than last year's 3 hours and 4 minutes.


MLB, which confirmed its effectiveness, decided to continue the same regulations in the postseason.


According to ESPN, the MLB Executive Committee agreed not to revise any regulations before the postseason, and recently notified a joint competition committee composed of players and owner representatives of the team of players.


Last year's average postseason game time was 3 hours and 32 minutes, 53 minutes longer than this year's regular season, when the pitch clock was introduced.


MLB players have also adapted to the pitch clock to some extent.


ESPN said, "The pitch clock violations that continued to occur at the beginning of the season have now almost disappeared to one in every four games. "Two-thirds of regular season games ended without violating the pitch clock," he explained.
