You want to see how it looks on
camera.
We found to situations that are
eerily similar.
Blake parker, a veteran reliever
been in the show for a long time
now on the left side of the
screen to see him with the
Memphis Red Birds pitching in
triple A with the pitch clock on
the right side of your screen.
This is an at bat against Matt
Carpenter from 2021 when he was
pitching with Cleveland, Blake
Parker's always been known as a
deliberate reliever.
Looks like he's going to speed
it up a little bit, but the
rules forces guys to get the
ball, don't over think it, let's
go and speed what I said
earlier.
The pace of play In Triple A. 14
seconds with no one on base, you
have to start your motion.
It is not a ball.
If you release the ball past the
pitch clock going to zero, you
have to start your motion Going
towards home plate and then
resets.
So here's Blake Parker having to
get the ball and go thru all of
his antics in a much more
efficient the way that he ded on
the right side of your screen in
2021 we'll, and I love the word
efficient because it made him a
more efficient pitcher, but the
game has more effective and and
if I'm defending it's going to
keep you in the rhythm of the,
of the game to I'm not standing
around wandering, drifting like
this guy's got his the towel
pull over his head, let's go.
Even guys on the bench are
saying, let's go, But the pace
of play picks up.
That was the fifth pitch right
there and we're only getting
were in the third pitch, still
getting ready to to deliver his
fourth pitch in the major league
game.
That's a big difference.
It is a big difference.
Blake parker who's always been a
late game guy, 7th, 8th or ninth
inning at one point, his career
closer, high leverage reliever,
we're so used two, the game
being close towards the later
stages and the game slows down
well with the pitch clock.
It feels like its almost
speeding up even more in a great
way well.
And it's great not only for the
picture before the hitter as
well, you know, you see
Carpenter in this at bat right
here and it just made me think
about how he was so deliberate.
It also affects the hitter.
When the pitcher has to speed up
, the hitter has to speed up and
the pace picks up
