Morning Brew's Jovial Opening today
Good morning. It’s Opening Day for Major League Baseball, marking the second season a pitch clock has been enforced to speed up the game. In their first year, the clocks were impactful: The average nine-inning game was 24 minutes shorter than in 2022. Multiplying that across the 2,430+ games played during the season, it means more than 40 fewer days of baseball were played in total.

With results that impressive, don’t be surprised to see pitch clocks added to other areas of society. Let’s get a 10-second timer on people choosing their sides at a restaurant.
