MLB has announced that for the 2023 season quite controversial rules come such as the inclusion of a pitch clock, the prohibition of special formations or shift and enlarge the bases, which were approved by the Major League Competitiveness Committee, with the representatives of the MLBPA voting unanimously to oppose the implementation of said rules.
In a statement, the MLBPA has disapproved of the implementation of said new rules, since there will not be a slow transition as they think was ideal, and not be imposed suddenly from one year to another.
The Players live the sport – day after day. The rules and regulations of the pitch affect your preparation, performance and, ultimately, the integrity of the game itself. Player leaders from across the league participated in the ground rules negotiations through the Competition Committee, and provided specific and actionable feedback on the changes proposed by the Commissioner’s Office.
Major League Baseball was unwilling to meaningfully address the areas of concern that the Players raised, and as a result, the Players on the Competition Committee voted unanimously against implementing the rules covering defensive switchups and the use of a clock. of pitches.
The competitiveness committee is made up of 6 representatives of the owners, 4 players and an umpire.
