How the New Baseball Rules will Impact the 2023 New York Yankees
Spring Training has officially begun. Sure, games are being ended on bases-loaded strike violations, games are starting with 1-1 counts, and the pitch clock isn’t always being reset—BUT WE HAVE BASEBALL… Or something that looks like baseball that a small majority doesn’t want to accept. A ticking grandfather clock is always beating now like a metronome that is just a little too loud and a half second off tune. The reason for the time bomb-esc feeling is due to the new rules that Major League Baseball is implementing for the 2023 season and beyond. The pitch clock has been the hot topic from the first weekend of Spring Games, but the rule that will continue to make people unhappy about the new rules has nothing to do with time. By the middle of May every baseball fan young and old will be familiar with the phrase “disengagements.” What was once a term only used in Las Vegas will be trending on baseball Twitter and the main word used in an angry call to your favorite sports radio show.
