That's the rub. Games are taking forever due to all the pitching changes and bullpen specialization. They'll either have to radically change the rules or accept longer games. There's no easy answer.
The problem is any change to significantly speed up the pace of the game would completely change the game itself. Baseball is and was intended to be a methodical game.

Baseball may have been meant to be a methodical game but it wasn’t meant to have 5 pitchers throwing in a single game for a single team or having 4 outfielders and your SS playing second base.
I’m not sure how I feel about rule changes like this either but you can’t use how Baseball was “meant” to be played to argue against them

Baseball also wasn’t meant to be played with “the three true outcomes”, ridiculous shifts with rovers in the outfield like it’s beer league softball and a million pitching changes because analytics says you need to matchup with every hitter. The way the game is played now in addition to the players taking forever with constant glove adjusting and practice swings if forcing MLBs hand because of all the dead time. It’s not the time of the game, it’s the pace.

And who enforces this rule? The homeplate ump?
It is already part of his responsibilities to get the batter into the batter's box. And he can allow the pitcher to throw whenever he deems "ready" to play ball. He simply points to the pitcher.
ETA Clocks in baseball are Un-American.
