Rules are made to be broken — UPDATE

February 15, 2023

2022 Official Rules of Major League BaseballWondering how the new rule changes will change the rule book itself. This article from MLB.com makes them seem more complicated than I originally thought.

These include:

  • The pitch clock, which not only applies to the pitcher apparently, but the hitter as well who has to be in the batter’s box within a certain time frame.
  • The defensive shift, which dictates where and how deep infielders can stand. Outfielders are not impacted.
  • Larger bases. This one is pretty straightforward.

I wonder how the umpires who will have to enforce these things feel about the additional responsibilities? Or will there be a new “timekeeper” position?

UPDATE: MLB Network to air special on 2023 rule changes tonight (Feb, 16) at 7 ET
