Pace of play

Giovanny Gallegos averaged a league-high 31.7 seconds between pitches during the first half of the 2022 MLB season[1]

In baseball, pace of play refers to the length of time between in-game action, specifically the length of time a pitcher takes between their pitches. A slow pace of play can extend the length of games, which is regarded as an issue in college baseball and professional baseball. To accelerate the pace of play, leagues have instituted rule changes, such as the implementation of a pitch clock in Major League Baseball.
