Good point and likely a key factor


I just realized my post was a little ambiguous. But I think it could be a factor both ways.

Guys are throwing harder, meaning the ball is harder to see.

Guys are throwing at smaller time intervals, meaning the umpire has less time to collect themselves.

You also now have the HP ump in charge of timekeeping, further dividing his attention. Like I said too many changes at once.

Agree with your points. Is it the home plate ump in charge of the clock or the third base ump (or is one for the batter and one for the pitcher)?

This is what I meant when I quoted the venerable Project Pat.
