MLB is using the Arizona Fall League to experiment with a new style of regulating the pace of play in a ballgame. above is a picture a clock installed in both dugouts. there will also be clocks visible from home plate and the outfield. the purpose of these clocks is basically a modified version of Rule 8.04 which is to try to stop unnecessary delays by the pitcher. A pitcher will be allowed 20 seconds to throw each pitch. The batter must be in the box prepared for the pitch during the entire 20-second period. If the batter steps out of the box during the 20-second period, the pitcher may deliver the pitch and the umpire may call a strike, unless the batter was first granted time by the umpire then the clock will restart.

As for the numbers at the top…
There will be a maximum 2:05 break between innings. Hitters must enter the batter’s box by the 1:45 mark. When batters violate this rule, the Umpire may call an automatic strike. When batters are set by the appropriate time and pitchers fail to throw a pitch before the conclusion of the 2:05 period, the Umpire shall call a ball.

so? what do you think of this idea? hate it or love it we will most likely be seeing more of these around ball parks in the next few years.
