This will be the first MLB season of a new balanced schedule in which every team will play each other at least once like in the NBA and NHL. The new balanced schedule includes 13 games against their division rivals and 52 games overall against division opponents. Each team will play six games against six opponents and seven games against four opponents in same league for a total of 64 games. Each team will also play 46 interleague games. Teams will also play a four-game home-and-home series. [3]

As part of the "MLB World Tour", the San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres are scheduled to play a two-game series at Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium in Mexico City on April 29–30, while the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs are scheduled to play a two-game series at London Stadium in London on June 24–25.

Rule changes[edit]

On September 8, 2022, MLB announced a set of rules changes that will take effect in 2023. [6]

  • A pitch clock will be introduced, including the following features
    • A standardized period of 30 seconds between batters within each half-inning
    • A timer between pitches of 15 seconds with the bases empty, and 20 seconds with at least one runner on base
    • The pitcher must start his motion before the expiration of the pitch timer. A violation will result in an automatic ball
    • The batter must be in the box and alert to the pitcher with no less than eight seconds remaining. A violation will result in an automatic strike
    • With runners on base, the timer resets if the pitcher attempts a pickoff or steps off the rubber (collectively called a "disengagement")
    • Only two disengagements are allowed per plate appearance; however, this count resets if a baserunner advances. Mound visits, injury timeouts, and offensive team timeouts do not count against this
    • On a third disengagement, an unsuccessful pickoff attempt will cause that runner to advance one base
    • If a team has used up all of its allowed five mound visits by the ninth inning, it receives an extra visit in the ninth
    • Umpires can provide extra time if circumstances warrant
  • Infield shifts will be severely restricted
    • The defensive team must have no fewer than four players in infield positions, with at least two on each side of second base
    • All infielders must have both feet on or inside the outer edge of the marked infield while the pitcher is on the rubber
    • Infielders cannot switch sides of the infield before a pitch is released
    • If infielders are improperly aligned at the time of the pitch, the offensive team may choose to accept the result of the play, or receive an automatic ball
  • All three bases will increase in size from 15 to 18 inches (38 to 46 cm)
