Rockies' New Pitch Calling Method: A Game Changer?
Description
The Colorado Rockies introduced a new pitch calling system in spring training, with pitching coach Alon Leichman signaling pitches from the dugout to catcher Hunter Goodman, who relayed them via PitchCom to starter Tomoyuki Sugano. This setup, already used in college and high school games, aims to enhance communication and boost performance. Players have embraced the idea, with Sugano finding it comfortable and Goodman staying engaged. Teams like the Mets and Marlins have also experimented with dugout calls in their minor leagues. If successful, this trend could spread as baseball continues to adapt to new tools.
