Pitchers will not be able to throw a pitch until the previous ball is caught or lands, which will be signaled by outfield spotters. There will be a designated pitch monitor to signal to the pitcher when they are good to throw the next pitch. Outfield spotters will also help identify HRs vs. non-HRs.
