This Video From Dodgers-Padres Is Proof That the Pitch Clock Is Awesome

The pitch clock rules.

If you’ve watched baseball at all in your life then you know the game can sometimes become really, really slow. And when that happens, it becomes really, really hard to watch. 

Well, things are going to be a lot different this year in Major League Baseball as there will be a pitch clock that is already making spring training games a lot faster, which in turn makes those games a lot more enjoyable to watch. 

If you needed any more proof that the pitch clock rules then I suggest you check out the video below. On one side you have Dodgers pitcher Landon Knack throwing a whole inning in the pitch-clock era, while on the right side you see an old video of then Dodgers pitcher Pedro Báez throwing just one pitch in the time it took Knack to complete a half inning. 

Check this out: 

That is wild. 

Long live the pitch clock!
