Pitch clock, force the batter stay in the box and eliminate pitching coach visits. If MLB really wants to speed up the game, do away with the pot bellied coach taking a 20 second stroll to the mound for a chat and then waiting for the umpire to come out and run him off.

This is already on the books as a pace of play rule, not enforced after year one.

On the books already is 30 seconds from the granting of time. The manager lollygagging is supposed to not matter. This is also not rigorously enforced. A rule change I would like to see explored is that a change must be made at the time time is granted. Right now we have a coach walking out, using the 30 seconds then making the call. We could speed it up by requiring changes be made immediately upon the granting of time.
Stoppages like this don't do much for the fan or the game quite honestly. That's why we should put things in that move the game along.
