Schedule
On August 24, 2022, Major League Baseball released their 2023 schedule. There are 162 games scheduled for all teams. This will be the first MLB season of a new balanced schedule in which every team will play each other at least once like in the NBA and NHL. The new balanced schedule includes 13 games against their division rivals, totaling 52 games. Each team will play six games against six opponents and seven games against four opponents in the same league for a total of 64 games. Each team will also play 46 interleague games. Teams will also play a four-game home-and-home series.[3]
As part of the "MLB World Tour", the San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres are scheduled to play a two-game series at Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium in Mexico City on April 29–30, while the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs are scheduled to play a two-game series at London Stadium in London on June 24–25. The 93rd All-Star Game is scheduled to be played on July 11, hosted by the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.[3] The MLB Little League Classic will feature the Philadelphia Phillies against the Washington Nationals on August 20.[4]
Opening Day 2023, March 30, features all thirty teams, the first time since 1968 that every team has started their season on the same day.
The MLB at Field of Dreams game will not be held due to the construction of a new youth baseball and softball complex at the Field of Dreams site near Dyersville, Iowa.[5]
Rule changes
On September 8, 2022, MLB announced a set of rules changes that will take effect in 2023.[6]
- A pitch clock will be introduced, with these requirements:
- A standardized period of 30 seconds between batters within each half-inning.
- A timer between pitches of 15 seconds with the bases empty, and 20 seconds with at least one runner on base.
- The pitcher must start his motion before the expiration of the pitch timer. A violation will result in an automatic ball.
- The batter must be in the box and alert to the pitcher with no less than eight seconds remaining. A violation will result in an automatic strike.
- With runners on base, the timer resets if the pitcher attempts a pickoff or steps off the rubber (collectively called a "disengagement").
- Only two disengagements are allowed per plate appearance; however, this count resets if a baserunner advances. Mound visits, injury timeouts, and offensive team timeouts do not count against this.
- On a third disengagement, an unsuccessful pickoff attempt will cause that runner to advance one base.
- If a team has used up all of its allowed five mound visits by the ninth inning, it receives an extra visit in the ninth.
- Umpires can provide extra time if circumstances warrant.
- Infield shifts will be restricted:
- The defensive team must have no fewer than four players in infield positions, with at least two on each side of second base.
- All infielders must have both feet on or inside the outer edge of the marked infield while the pitcher is on the rubber.
- Infielders cannot switch sides of the infield before a pitch is released.
- If infielders are improperly aligned at the time of the pitch, the offensive team may choose to accept the result of the play, or receive an automatic ball.
- All three bases will increase in size from 15 to 18 inches (38 to 46 cm).
Further changes were announced on February 13, 2023:[7]
- In regular-season games, all extra innings will start with a runner on second base. This rule was first used in the COVID-abbreviated 2020 season, and again used in the lockout-shortened 2022 spring training.
- The rule that regulates when position players can pitch was tweaked. Previously, position players were allowed to pitch when either team had a lead of at least six runs. Starting with this season:
- The leading team can only use a position player in this role in the ninth inning, and with a lead of at least 10 runs.
- A team behind by eight or more runs can use a position player to pitch at any time in the game.
- The use of position players as pitchers in extra innings is unrestricted, as it was under the previous rule.
