The SEC are implementing a play timer and a 7-inning mercy rule in an effort to speed up in-conference baseball contests.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Southeastern Conference is implementing new rules in an effort to speed up league games.
The SEC will put batters and pitchers on a 30-second timer after the conclusion of each play. The batter must be in the box and ready at the 10-second mark and the pitcher has to begin his motion before the 30 seconds expire.Coaches also will be placed on a 30-second timer for mound visits, starting when the coach leaves the dugout or a defensive player leaves his position to walk to the mound. After that, the NCAA's 20-second pitch clock will start.
Visits that include a doctor or trainer evaluating a potential medical issue won't have to abide by the 30-second clock. New pitchers coming into the game either at the start of an inning or mid-inning have two minutes and 30 seconds after leaving the bullpen. Then the 20-second pitch clock starts.___Most Read
