During the offseason, reports said that in 2023 pitchers would be able to wear a PitchCom wrist band of their own to call pitches. Manager Terry Francona told reporters on Thursday morning that he wasn’t sure that would be implemeted this year.
As for who has the say, the pitcher or catcher, when it comes to calling fastball or changeup, Francona said, “I think you would work through those things.”
Another game situation that has occupied Francona’s mind is when the opposition has runners on first and third base. If and when does a pitcher step off the rubber, simulating a pickoff move, to keep the runners from stealing? “DeMarlo will do that,” said Francona. “The reason is because he gives the signs. De is good because he’s giving those signs anyway.”
