Major League Baseball is stepping up its experimentation with an electronic communication channel for calling pitches.
Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy wears a wrist-worn device used to call pitches as he catches a ball during the sixth inning of a spring training baseball game against the Kansas City Royals, Tuesday, March 29, 2022, in Peoria, Ariz. The MLB is experimenting with the PitchCom system where the catcher enters information on a wrist band with nine buttons which is transmitted to the pitcher to call a pitch.
With the PitchCom system, the catcher wears a wristband with nine buttons for calling the pitch and location. There is a receiver in the pitcher's cap, and another one in the catcher's helmet. Multiple languages are available for the encrypted channel.New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone even tried a little experiment with the experiment. An hour before Saturday's game against Atlanta, he told starting pitcher Luis Severino they would try the system with catcher Kyle Higashioka.
The PitchCom system is one of several potential changes MLB is exploring this year. There will be bigger bases, pitch clocks and limits on pickoff attempts for every full-season affiliate in the minors. Defensive shifts have been banned for each Class A level and Double-A. When players are on base, especially at second, the game can bog down as pitchers and catchers switch up signs in an effort to shield the calls from their opponent. With an electronic channel, that would no longer be an issue.
Cease said sign-stealing has been a concern for him for the past couple of years, especially with a runner on second.
