Major League Baseball’s attempt to shorten the length of games this season seems to be working with the addition of a pitch clock.

Reading Baseball is a series of essays and commentaries by Richard “Pete” Peterson, the author of Growing Up With Clemente and the editor of The St. Louis Baseball Reader.
