The new era of baseball’s pitch clock began, with some admirably short spring training games and a couple of gaffes that show how much getting used to it will take
MLB’s new pitch clock had its first signature moment in the ninth inning of a spring training exhibition game between the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves on Saturday. With two outs, the bases loaded, and a full count, Atlanta batter Cal Conley was called for a third strike after the umpire determined he had not been ready and in the batter’s box with enough time left on the pitch clock.
Because it was an exhibition game—in which extra innings aren’t played—the automatic strike also ended the game.
