Rob Manfred says Major League Baseball owners would like to implement a pitch clock ahead of Opening Day 2023.

"I don't want to prejudge the process as far as handicapping it. I will say this: We've experimented extensively with the pitch clock in the minor leagues," the commissioner said.

"It does help in terms of the pace of the game. It does help also in terms of the way the game is played, meaning more action, so it is something that remains high on the priority list of ownership."
