2. Catcher's Wireless EarpieceQuote:
The most important proposal is an expansion of the video review/instant replay procedures. Under the SEC's proposed rule change, a coach would be granted one video challenge per game. Should the challenge succeed, the coach would have another to use later in the game. However, if it failed, he'd lose the ability to challenge another play the rest of the game.
3. Bat Testing (2020)Quote:
Another interesting aspect of this proposal is the addition of a wireless ear piece in the catcher's helmet to improve pace of play. Under this proposal, the pitch to be thrown would be relayed via the ear piece as opposed to through signs or numerical codes. Advocates of the rule change say this addition would decrease the time of games by 20-25 minutes

Lastly, the committee proposed more rigorous and frequent bat testing beginning in 2020. This allows schools and conferences to get money to pay for the testing equipment, which costs $1,500. Under this new rule, bat testing would apply to the regular season and would be conducted before the first game of the series and before every midweek game.
