Major League Baseball is considering some rule changes to keep starting pitchers in games longer in the future, according to a report.
The most drastic change would be a rule requiring starting pitchers to complete six innings before being pulled from a game.
The report states that the rule would come with exceptions for injuries, blowouts or other extreme scenarios.
MLB has discussed criteria where a pitcher could leave before competing six innings, such as throwing 100 pitches, allowing four or more earned runs or suffering an injury.
