MLB players are beginning to understand how the pitch clock will impact certain game situations in addition to shortening games.
Philadelphia Phillies catcher JT Realmuto admitted that the pitch clock contributed to the Texas Rangers’ nine-run fourth inning on Opening Day Thursday. Realmuto said he was not able to slow down his pitchers, including ace starter Aaron Nola, because the clock simply did not allow it.
“With the pitch clock, you can’t ever slow the pitcher down,” Realmuto said, via Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
