Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu during the eighth inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Saturday, June 3, 2023, in Houston.TORONTO — José Abreu struck out on a pitch-clock violation in an odd moment with Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt on Wednesday.
Major league rules instituted this season require hitters to be"alert to the pitcher" before the eight-second mark on the clock, which runs for 15 seconds with nobody on base and 20 seconds with runners on. That rule stands regardless of where the pitcher is. By the same token, the pitcher must begin his motion to deliver the pitch before the clock expires.
