MLB’s commissioner considers the 2023 changes a resounding success, but that won’t prevent him from pursuing another major alteration after the ‘24 season.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Major League Baseball would consider limiting 26-man rosters to 12 pitchers after 2024 in an attempt to incentivize teams to prioritize starting pitching, commissioner Rob Manfred said Friday before“Historically, starting pitchers have been some of the biggest stars in the game, and the way that pitching is being used right now has caused a diminution of the star quality for some of our starters,” he told a small group of writers.
Manfred said he would consider proposing a 12-pitcher limit to the competition committee in 2024.Eric Hartline/USA TODAY SportsHe praised the players for adapting to the new rules put in place for 2023 to improve pace of play, such as a pitch clock, limitations on pitcher step-offs and larger bases, and said, “I think it’s important to kind of let things settle a little bit more.
“I think we’re going to have a great World Series,” he said. “We had two great League Championship Series. My own view on this is that our teams play really hard all year long to get into the playoffs, but one of the greatest things about the playoffs in baseball is anybody can win. And it’s about the competition that takes place in the postseason. And I don’t think what happened this year is all that out of line with history.
