Starting when the pitcher receives the ball from the catcher, he is given 15 seconds between pitches. It&#8217;s expected to help speed up the game, and judging by how minor league games rarely last longer than his three hours, that&#8217;s exactly what it seems.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, you can avoid pitchers like former Red Sox southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez feeling like it takes hours to throw a pitch. <\/p>\n<p>For many pitchers who have been in the league for most, if not all of their careers, there can be an adjustment period.

All the players voted against these rules. It&#8217;s up to MLB to put these rules in place. We have no control over these rules, we have no control over which rules are introduced\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think anyone is really excited about changing the game and not having a certain say at the end of the day, especially when you&#8217;re competing in the field.
