Red Sox-Braves spring training game ends in tie due to pitch clock violation

Feb 25, 2023

Spring training games ending in ties are not uncommon because managers don't want to use up pitchers in extra innings in February. But history was made in Saturday's Grapefruit League tie between the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves.

It's every ballplayer's dream (maybe not in spring training, but you get it): bases loaded, two outs, full count, tie game. However, the Braves' Cal Conley struck out without even seeing a pitch on a 3-2 count to end the game.

How?

He wasn't set in the batter's box in time.
