Minor League Pitch Clock Cut Games By 25 Minutes 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Sep 30, 2022 12:56 pm

The use of pitch clocks cut the average time of Minor League games by 25 minutes this year.

Major League Baseball hopes the time reduction is replicated when the devices are installed next season.

The average time of minor league games dropped to 2 hours, 38 minutes, down from 3:03 during the 2021 season.

Clocks at Triple-A were set at 14 seconds with no runners on base and 19 with runners. At lower levels, the clocks were at 18 seconds with runners.
