New college baseball wristband rule may thwart sign stealing

New college baseball wristband rule may thwart sign stealing
By ERIC OLSON AP Sports Writer
A new rule intended to help speed up the game also could thwart attempts to steal signs in college baseball. The NCAA will allow a pitcher to wear a wristband with a signal card when the season opens Friday. That will allow him and the catcher to look into the dugout to get pitch calls and eliminate the need for the catcher to relay the call with hand signs. Sign stealing has come to the fore since the Houston Astros were found to have used electronics to steal signs in 2017 and 2018.

Pirates pitcher Archer has a clear mind — and less hair
By JOHN PERROTTO Associated Press
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Chris Archer is 2 ½ pounds lighter than at the end of last season. The right-hander didn’t go on a winter diet, though. Instead, Archer cut off his trademark dreadlocks. Archer said it was time for a change. He feels the same way about his pitching. Archer was 3-9 with a 5.19 ERA in 23 starts last year. He was a two-time All-Star with the Tampa Bay Rays, yet has gone 6-12 with a 4.92 ERA in 33 starts since the Pirates acquired him in a trade in July 2018.
