Pitchclock effect reduces average game length by 21 minutes in ML fall baseball


The average World Series game took 3 hours and 1 minute

Major League Baseball's (MLB) introduction of a pitch clock this year has once again proven to shorten games.

The Associated Press reported on Aug. 8 that "the average length of a game in this year's postseason was 3 hours and 2 minutes, down from 3 hours and 23 minutes last year."

The average game in this year's World Series was 3 hours and 1 minute. It was the shortest game since 1996.

In addition to the pitch clock, new rules, such as limiting defensive shifts and expanding bases, also contributed to the shortened games.

The average runs per game in the postseason increased from 7.3 to 8.2, and batting averages rose from 0.210 to 0.241. Stolen bases increased from 0.9 to 1.1 per game, stolen bases attempts increased from 1.1 to 1.6, and stolen bases success rate increased significantly from 77.3% to 85.1%.

Meanwhile, the average length of a Major League Baseball regular season game this year was 2 hours and 40 minutes. That's the shortest since 1985.
