Fast Baseball

Major League Baseball wants to implement new rules for 2018 to speed up the game:

- 20-second pitch clock in all situations. [for both batters and pitchers]
- 30 second pitch clock between batters
- All Violations enforced with automatic balls and strikes will be called.
- One warning per player, per game, before penalty issued
- One mound visit from manager, coach, or player per inning.

The MLB has already tested the pitch clock and other rules above.  These rules have been a part of the game at the Double-A and Triple-A levels since 2015. I'm really curious how some of the older players deal with this.
