A pitch clock (also known as a pitch timer)[1] is used in various baseball leagues to limit the amount of time a pitcher takes before throwing the ball to the hitter and/or limit the amount of time the hitter uses before he is set to hit.
Various baseball leagues and tournaments around the world use a pitch clock to speed up the pace of play. Major League Baseball (MLB) began using a pitch clock in the 2023 season following a period of tests on MLB partner leagues, minor league baseball, and college baseball.[2]
