While Alex Cobb was bothered by his first time experiencing MLB’s new pitch clock, he said he is still in favor of the changes to quicken the pace of play.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Standing at his locker Tuesday afternoon, maybe an hour after his first experience with the pitch clock in live action, Giants starter Alex Cobb didn’t waste any time sharing his thoughts on his less-than-blissful two innings in his spring debut.“It” being the pitch clock, which bugged Cobb perhaps more than any other pitcher on the staff, including slow-paced relievers such as Camilo Doval.
Cobb, who is such a cerebral pitcher he often knows what he wants to throw before his catcher, was looking forward to the opportunity to call his own game using the new PitchCom devices. After trying to balance that, the clock, his mechanics, and two new pitches he is working on, Cobb said he’s likely to shelve the idea, or come up with a hybrid, until he is more comfortable with the increased pace.
Bart tossed the ball back to Cobb, and he immediately began fidgeting with it. For his entire career, Cobb has rubbed up baseballs the same way. He takes his hand, runs it across the sweaty back of his head and begins to massage the baseball. Now, he has 15 or 20 seconds to do all that, get set and start his motion.Playing catch-up with the clock prevented Cobb from focusing on what is usually his No. 1 objective this early in spring.
