NEW YORK — A runner would be put on second base at the start of the 11th inning of the All-Star Game and each additional inning, according to the latest pace-of-game proposal by Major League Baseball. Extra-inning games in those two leagues averaged 27 minutes longer than nine-inning games, down from 43 minutes for all other minor leagues. Violations would be punished by ball-strike penalties. There would be no ball-strike penalties this year. Both sides would agree that there be no ball-strike penalties for inning-break violations until May 1, 2019.
