Masahiro Tananka comes out against the pitch clock. Why?
NYPost.com
According to FanGraphs, Justin Verlander was the slowest between pitches among those who qualified with a 27-second clocking last year. Tanaka, who didn’t qualify among statistical leaders, was also at 27.
Tanaka, and likely Verlander, work slowly because they feel that gives them the best chance of doing well. This is why I have suggested incentives for working quickly, rather than than penalties for working slowly. Pay players to play quickly, and use the level of payment to get the pace needed. Since we can measure the time between pitches now, it should be easy to implement.
