Baseball also recognized the need to speed up the game.
This season every pitcher must pitch to a minimum of 3 batters.
Off thread topic for sure, but this rule in baseball is typical Dumb Rob Manfred and his geniuses. It'll take 5 minutes off the game length at best. It's been statistically shown to be the case based on last year's games. If you're an Athletic Subscriber, there was an article done showing this, and I'm sure there were others to point this out.
As it relates to "speeding up the game", I don't think baseball needs sped up any more than football. What it needs is less down time where nothing is happening in the stadium. TV Timeouts are a big culprit of this in both cases in my opinion. Beyond that, I just think moving things along faster - running off the field faster, or running in from the bullpen, etc. at least give the perception of things moving faster.
