It took a bit before pitchers like Justin Verlander and others got used to the pitch clock, which was implemented in 2023. Before then, no pitcher ever had to worry about how quickly they had to work on the mound.
But it was not just the players that had to get used to the pitch clock. Fans also had to get adjusted to a new game that moved much more quickly than it did before.
One of these fans was Verlander's supermodel wife, Kate Upton. Back in April, she recalled a moment when she missed a few innings of the ballgame while she made a bathroom break, via SiriusXM.
"The pitch clock sped [the game] up so much. I'm like, 'How did I miss two innings? I just went to the bathroom.' Like, it's so much faster," said Upton.
