Pitch clock
I watched a few games today as I wanted to see the impact of the pitch clock which requires the pitcher to pitch within 15 seconds if no one is on base and 20 seconds if there is a runner on base.
It does speed up the game. I checked the time for some games and several were played in about 2.5 hours.
For the past several years, the average length of a game had been a little over 3 hours so the pitch clock appears to have a significant impact on the time of the game.
That seems like a good idea.
