WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Between most pitches of his major league career, Kyle Tucker has stepped out of the batter’s box, grabbed a fistful of dirt, rubbed it between his bare hands and contemplated what he’s about to see.
Sunday, he saw it all disappear. Playing his first game with a pitch clock, Tucker said he felt “rushed” and wondered why Major League Baseball gave pitchers “another advantage” over hitters. Baseball’s new rules require batters to be in the box and “engaged” with the pitcher at the eight-second mark of the pitch clock, which runs for 15 seconds between pitches with the bases empty and 20 with runners aboard.
“It was pretty quick,” Tucker said. “I don’t think there’s as much thought process or much of an adjustment gameplan-wise in between pitches that you can do. You have to do it super fast. That part kind of sucks because you want to take your time, understand what just happened and what they’re about to do next.”
