節錄比較重要的部分:

"We have slipped a little bit centrally with calling the rulebook
illegal pitches and balks," said Morgan Sword, MLB's executive
vice president of operations, at a media briefing to explain the
rules in greater depth.
...
Stressing the delivery of legal pitches matters because it
coincides with the beginning of a delivery, which is when the
pitch clock is supposed to stop. Pitchers who violate the rule are
assessed a ball as a penalty. Similarly, if hitters are not in
the batter's box and facing the pitcher with 8 seconds left on the
clock, they will be given an automatic strike.
...
A number of pitchers, including Houston's Luis Garcia, Toronto's
Kevin Gausman, Boston's Kenley Jansen and the Chicago White Sox's
Mike Clevinger, are expected to change their deliveries on account
of the new rules.
因為投球計時器是計算到投手開始投球動作為止。但某些投手投球
前腳動來動去會有爭議:
這段時間到底要算成他開始投球,因此不算超出時間,
還是他還沒投球,因此搖太久就超時犯規。
所以MLB本季將會直接判這類動作為投手犯規。
文中舉出幾個例子如:
Luis Garcia 搖寶寶: https://twitter.com/ZHBuchanan/status/1625684520296136705
Kevin Gausman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6S9779aT8I
Kenley Jansen, Mike Clevinger 等人
都需要在開幕前調整自己的姿勢

You conveniently leave out the step forward. You get one step, no
matter the direction. Not two.
也就是說像跳舞一樣踏來踏去,就會被抓投手犯規
但如果腳不動,只有身體搖還是OK
