Training his body, adjusting to new pitching rules and painting are on Dylan Cease’s agenda for this offseason after an incredible outing in 2022.
Certainly, after a season when Cease finished second to Justin Verlander in the AL Cy Young award standings and recorded career highs in basically every conceivable stat category, his offseason plan looks different.
The impetus of this winter/spring will be focused on training his body to go longer, in terms of more innings and season, as the White Sox prepare for a playoff push they missed this past year."The biggest thing is there's a lot less to work on," Cease said."The previous season I had a lot of things that needed to be ironed out. Now it's more rest and making sure my body is prepared for the long run is a little more important right now.
Outside of the plain agenda, Cease mentioned there will be some adjusting to the new MLB rules for pitchers. "I think there will definitely be some preparation. Maybe like, have a stop clock at the bullpens and make sure that we're kinda getting the rhythm down," Cease said. MLB will implement a pitch clock this coming season. There will be a 15-second timer for pitchers to throw the ball if the bases are empty. If not, it's 20 seconds. Batters and pitchers will have simultaneous 30 seconds to ready themselves between batters.Cease mentioned he isn't worried about the preparation, or the rule affecting his play. He said he doesn't regularly work at a slow pace, figuring his consensus that the rule won't affect him.
