Each team gets two challenges per game and keeps successful ones.

The MLB pitch clock is a 15- or 18-second timer that limits how long pitchers can take between pitches, plus a 30-second timer between batters. It was introduced in the 2023 MLB season after years of minor league testing and immediately cut the average game time by 28 minutes — from 3:04 in 2022 down … Read more
