I'd like to see the implementation of a 20 second (the exact time could be debated) pitch clock which would include a 5 second red zone at the end where the pitcher could deliver the ball whether the batter was in the box or not. If the pitcher fails to begin his windup by the time the 20 seconds expire, the batter is awarded a ball.
How exactly would this work? I assume the clock would be physical, so where would you put it? The pitcher and umpire are looking in opposite directions, so there would have to be two. I suppose you could put something on the backstop for the pitcher, but he's looking at the catcher and it wouldn't be in his line of sight. I can't imagine where the umpire's clock would be.
