Daily News | Three new MLB rules, and three Phillies who likely will be impacted
players gathered at their lockers for a presentation on the pitch clock. In the coming days and weeks, there may be similar meetings to go over the ban on infield shifts, larger bases, and more.
As with any seismic changes, some players will have to fundamentally alter how they work. Many stand to benefit from the new rules; others may struggle. But almost everyone will have to adapt.Schwarber: Gone with the shift “I’ve heard that idea,” Schwarber said. “Sure, go ahead. I’ll hit a flare to left, or I’ll hit a line drive to center that’ll be a triple or an inside-the-parker with my speed. It’s going to be interesting to see how teams still shift within the regulations and things like that.”It isn’t the World Cup, but for Phillies pitcher and soccer fanatic Ranger Suárez, the WBC was too good to pass up
But there’s something else that figures to enhance Turner’s need for speed. Pitchers will be allowed only two “disengagements” from the rubber, including pickoff attempts. After that, the pitcher will be charged with a balk if he attempts to pick off a runner and is unsuccessful.“I know a lot of people are going to expect a lot more stolen bases out of me,” Turner said. “I think those rules are definitely going to come into play, and we’ve got to game plan and figure it out.
