Pitch clock ends a game on automatic strike 3

Frank, I think you're forgetting the enormous amount of torque generated in the hands when a batter leans forward and takes a pitch. It's luck if the gloves survive the AB at all, as the velcro is nearly shredded from that much force. There are not many of us still around who can appreciate what happens when you have too much tork:

actually stolen bases may become a renewed focus. Between the larger bases and the pitch clock it seems that in spring training there is a lot more stolen bases and stolen base attempts.
Seems that the base runners are using the pitch clock for timing their steels as well as the rules limiting the throw overs to the bases.

I would enjoy if "small ball" makes a bit of a come back
