Yankees' José Caballero says pitch‑clock enforcement singles him out

MLB has mandated a pitch‑clock to speed up games, altering pre‑pitch routines for many players. Yankees shortstop José Caballero argues that the new rule restricts his breathing and warm‑up habits, effectively singling him out.

Caballero and his manager criticized the change, saying it could hurt his performance and calling for a more equitable implementation. The league affirmed that the regulation will be applied uniformly across all teams.
