New MLB rules are consistent with baseball's past — not an assault on tradition

Following a pilot run in the minor leagues, several rule changes have been introduced to accelerate the pace of MLB games.

Key Points: 
  • Following a pilot run in the minor leagues, several rule changes have been introduced to accelerate the pace of MLB games.
  • These changes have been spear-headed by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, who has been a modernizing agent for a game steeped in tradition.

What’s new?

    • Batters are also beholden to the clock, and can’t remove themselves from the batter’s box (although they do get one timeout per at-bat).
    • Failure to comply will result in an automatic strike or ball call, depending on if the pitcher or batter is found in violation.
    • They are now only allowed two disengagements — either a pickoff attempt or a step-off — per plate appearance.
    • The infield shift was employed sparingly for the most part, but the practice has seen a dramatic uptake in recent years.

Reactions to the changes

    • But others see the rule changes as much-needed medicine for a sport that has lost its way.
    • More time is needed to see if these changes will connect with a younger audience.

Change is the only constant

    • There’s an almost mythical belief that baseball doesn’t change over time.
    • In the nostalgia-dripping film, Field of Dreams, Terence Mann (James Earl Jones) says to Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner): “The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball…This field, this game, it’s a part of our past, Ray.
    • It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.” Baseball is the same now as it has always been, as the saying goes.
    • Baseball stars from yesteryear would fare well in the modern iteration of the game because of this.

What’s next for baseball?

    • The future provides little comfort to the change-adverse; baseball purists are already wringing their hands with what’s to come.
    • Notably, robot umpires are being tested at the minor league level in hopes of making umpiring more accurate.
    • It’s not a question of if, but when that technology will be introduced at the major league level — perhaps as soon as next season.
