Paul Blackburn and Tony Kemp are learning new faces and new rules at spring training, but at least there’s no lockout or COVID lockdown.
MESA, Ariz. – The last time Major League Baseball had a routine spring training was in 2019.
One of the changes the A’s are not responsible for this season that players will have to get accustomed to is MLB’s various rule changes. Those include a new 15-second pitch clock, an end to the shift and larger bases from 15 inches to 18. “Every single day, a guy showed up in the morning and then was packing his bag and leaving,” Blackburn said about spring training in 2022 amid a whirlwind of trades. “We have a lot of new faces, but at least all those faces started at the same time,” he said of this year.
Manager Mark Kotsay still feels that developing culture and character will take some time. On Wednesday, he said the team does not have an identity and will spend part of the spring building one through competition.
