MLB owners vote in favor of enforcing rule to curb pitch stealing
MLB requires base coaches to remain in their coach's boxes until the pitch to prevent pitch tipping and limit coaches' ability to relay pitch information.
MLB extended PitchCom across the league for six years, providing the pitch-calling system to all Major League clubs and Triple-A affiliates through 2031.
Strategic pitch selection and improved command—notably Garrett Crochet's sinker and Aroldis Chapman's location via PitchCom—transformed both into elite, dominant pitchers.
Garrett Crochet's sinker transformed him into an elite pitcher, while Aroldis Chapman's PitchCom-driven command dramatically reduced walks and revived his slider.
