..... WILL LEAD TO INCREASE IN STEALS, SAYS THIEVERY EXPERT ALEX CORA

"  The league will institute a pitch clock, ensuring that pace of play improves. They’re severely limiting defensive shifts as well. Shortstops, for example, will no longer be allowed to play short right field.  "

I'm curious to see how this pitch clock works. I am assuming there will be some method the pitcher can go by to know how much time he has to make a pitch. A clock on the back wall? But wouldn't that be a distraction for a pitcher to be concentrating on a pitch? And if certain pitchers rush too much, would that be an injury risk?

I believe some minor league teams are experimenting with an electronic pitch call at home plate. I wouldn't mind that but if I recall they were saying a team can request a pitch call to be reviewed only twice or something?

Would I be mistaken that with an electronic reader, there is no way the call could be wrong?
