The MLB has implemented new rules in order to speed up the game of baseball. They have
added a pitch clock timer in between each pitch. They implemented this rule in 2018 in the
Minor Leagues as an experiment to see how much time it would actually shave off a 9-inning baseball game. The average baseball game length is 3 hours and 3 minutes. Last Season in the Minors, they were saving an average of 25 minutes.

Baseball has been losing fans very quickly over the years. People complain that the sport is too long and drawn out. They also complain that the sport does not have as much action as other sports. This is a very valid argument made by many fans and non-fans.

This new addition to the game has already stirred up some controversial plays and it is only spring training. Manny Machado was the first player in the history of the game to start his at-bat with a 0-1 count (one strike). Many of the players in the league have displayed and spoken out about their dislike for the new rule, especially those who have been in the league for several years. Manny Machado said after that game “I might be down 0-1 a lot this year”. An even more bizarre event that happened is a game between the Red Sox and the Braves, The game was tied in the bottom of the Ninth, with two outs, a 3-2 count, and a tie. However, the inning ended because the batter did not enter the box in the allotted amount of time. That batter was quoted saying “Respectfully, F$%# the pitch clock”.

The Pitch Clock is something the fans are gonna have to get used to. It is here to stay. Intended on speeding up the game some are worried about the natural flow of the game and fear it will affect the game in a negative way by increasing the possibility of pooer play. But it is very clear that it has already sparked some new light into the game.

Between the US, the Dominican Republic, Japan, and Puerto Rico, etc, which team and roster fields the most competitive lineups and pitching staffs?

As the four pools are set to begin play in only two weeks, we are looking ahead to see which team has the best chance for the title of Champion at the “Spring Classic”. This tournament boasts significant talent, with the usual suspects posessing powerhouse rosters (USA, Dominican Republic). Here we’ll look at each pool and predict which countries will advance.

World Baseball Classic Group A

• Chinese Taipei
• Netherlands
• Cuba
• Italy
• Panama

This pool has perhaps the most parity of the four, with evenly talented rosters all the way around, though none particularly stand out. The exception to this is likely the Netherlands, who have a history of success and a few Major Leaguers on the squad. The anticipation is that the Netherlands will win this pool. Taipei and Italy are always competitive, and Panama is a wildcard with an outside shot at qualifying, but our money for the second advancing team is Cuba. Also a wildcard, but a nation that produces incredible baseball talent which may separate them from the pack.

2023 Netherlands World Baseball Classic Roster

World Baseball Classic Group B

•  Japan
• Korea
• Australia
• China
• Czech Republic

This pool has likely the two easiest choices with Japan and Korea. Japan is always stocked with elite talent and has homefield advantage. Korea is competitive as well and could even challenge Japan to win this pool. While Australia and China are no slouches, they simply don’t have the track record or manpower to really pose a threat to Japan and Korea.

2023 Japan World Baseball Classic Roster

World Baseball Classic Group C

•  United States
• Mexico
• Colombia
• Canada
• Great Britain

The stacked roster of the United States was handed an easier slate before the elimination rounds. Mexico is talented, but ultimately a tier below the US. Columbia may challenge for that second bid, but getting past the Mexico team which boasts several talented Major League players is tough to see. Canada and Great Britain fall to the back of this pool in all likelihood.

2023 USA World Baseball Classic Roster

World Baseball Classic Group D

•  Puerto Rico
• Venezuela
• Dominican Republic
• Israel
• Nicaragua

This group is bar-none the toughest of any to pick. All three of Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic are powerhouses teeming with baseball talent. It’s not ridiculous to say that the third place team in this pool, the one who gets eliminated, is a better team than the winner of Pool A. Nothing against Israel or Nicaragua, who have both been impressive in recent years, but they drew poor luck with this pool. The Dominican roster is loaded from top to bottom with offense, defense, and pitching. In fact, they’ll likely be my pick to be runner-up to the US team. It cannot be assumed that they win because Puerto Rico, runner-up in the two previous World Baseball Classics, are poised to be great as well. This track record makes it difficult to pick against them, but we predict the Dominican and Venezuela to come out of this pool. Puerto Rico is experienced, yes, but that also means old. It won’t be a surprise if they make it past group stage, (or frankly, even win it all), but the talent and youth of Venezuela is even tougher to bet against.

Jazz is the new cover for the latest addition to the long-running video game “MLB The Show”. Video game and Baseball fans have mixed feelings about it.

Jazz is an exciting new addition to the baseball community, and has brought new fans to the game. However, there are some athletes that have brought even more light to the
game.

Julio Rodrigez is the athlete that gamers and baseball fans have all been waiting for. Julio Rodrigez won Rookie of the year and has gathered a huge following on social media after this year. Several large YouTubers and Streamers have all been anticipating Julio. Jazz Chisholm as the cover athlete for“MLB The Show 23” might cause a problem for the gaming and baseball community.

Jazz Chisholm is a great athlete, but we all know who the real cover should have been.

With the 2023 fantasy baseball season fast approaching. We’re taking time to take a look at the top 15 starting pitchers for fantasy baseball 2023. These rankings will be based on points leagues with standard scoring.

Top 15 Starting Pitcher for Fantasy Baseball 2023

1. Shohei Ohtani (LAA – SP/DH)
2. Gerrit Cole (NYY – SP)
3. Corbin Burnes (MIL – SP)
4. Jacob deGrom (TEX – SP)
5. Sandy Alcantara (MIA – SP)
6. Aaron Nola (PHI – SP)
7. Spencer Strider (ATL – SP/RP)
8. Max Scherzer (NYM – SP)
9. Shane McClanahan (TB – SP)
10. Carlos Rodon (NYY – SP)
11. Brandon Woodruff (MIL – SP)
12. Justin Verlander (NYM – SP)
13. Logan Webb (SF – SP)
14. Dylan Cease (CWS – SP)
15. Zac Gallen (ARI – SP)

Shohei Ohtani:
Ohtani has transcended into fantasy baseball stardom. After a 2021 season in which Ohtani posted a 3.18 ERA over 130.1 IP, he only got better in 2022. In 2022, he posted a 2.33 ERA over 166 IP. This doesn’t even take into account his production from the batter’s box. Ohtani seems like the clear choice as #1 in most points leagues.

Gerrit Cole:
Cole has been one of the most consistent starting pitchers in baseball over the past 5 seasons. Since his trade to Houston, his combination of strikeout rate and durability have made him one of the top pitching options. Although his ERA has been rising the past two years, his underlying metrics support a strong bounceback this season.

Corbin Burnes:
Since 2019, when Burnes was arguably the worst pitcher in baseball, he has been nothing short of dominant. His ERA has been sub 3.00 in all three years while maintaining a strikeout rate of over 10 K/9. He’ll continue to be a dominant force.

Jacob deGrom:
Simply put, when deGrom is healthy, he is the most dominant fantasy baseball weapon in the league. Over the past two seasons, deGrom has pitched only 156.1 innings. In those two seasons however, he has had a WHIP of 0.55 and 0.75 respectively, while maintaining a strikeout rate of over 14 K/9. If you’re looking to take a risk on a pitcher staying healthy, deGrom is the number one option.

Sandy Alcantara:
Alcantara is the most durable arm in the league, and his durability helped him earn a Cy Young in 2022. His underlying metrics suggest that his statistics may be a little better than he actually pitched in 2022. However, it seems you can count on Alcantara to give you 30+ starts and 200+ innings every year. Even if he regresses slightly, he is still a very valuable fantasy pitcher.

Fantasy Pitchers just outside of Top 15:
Some other pitchers to keep an eye on that have top-15 finishing potential: Shane Bieber, Zach Wheeler, Julio Urias, Kevin Gausman, Luis Castillo, Alek Manoah, Max Fried, and Framber Valdez. Good luck this season

Breaking – We all knew this was coming, come on let’s not act like we are surprised. After being engaged for nearly 2 years A-Rod and J-Lo are calling it quits.

J-Lo last posted a photo with A-Rod at the end of February and before that, the last photo with him was during President Joe Biden’s inauguration. A-Rod also last posted in February with the pop star. Fans noticed that the singer had not liked A-Rod’s most-recent photo on Instagram.

On Wednesday (March 10) a source told ET Online the couple was still planning on getting married after the coronavirus pandemic forced them to postpone the wedding. At the time, the unknown source told ET, “She trusts him like no one else she has been with and is in one of the best places in her career and personal life.”

The news of the breakup comes just a few weeks after romantic rumors of Rodriguez and Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy began circulating but there is no confirmation if there is a link between the two events.
