Rule 6.01(j) delineates criteria for a legal slide while trying to break up a double play, which is defined as making contact with the ground before reaching the base, being able to and attempting to reach the base with a hand or foot, being able to and attempting to remain on the base at the completion of the slide (except at home plate) and not changing his path for the purpose of initiating contact with a fielder. This is intended to protect infielders while still allowing for aggressive baserunning. This rule was implemented after Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Chase Utley slid into New York Mets infielder Ruben Tejada during the seventh inning of Game 2 in the previous year's National League Division Series. The second rule change limits managers and coaches visits to the mound to 30 seconds and shortens between innings break times by 20 seconds to match television commercial breaks.Hagen Paul New slide rule, pace-of-game changes adopted https://www.mlb.com/news/pace-of-game-changes-new-slide-rule-adopted-c165429062 MLB.com MLB Advanced Media February 1, 2020 February 25, 2016 November 11, 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171111162619/http://m.mlb.com/news/article/165429062/pace-of-game-changes-new-slide-rule-adopted/ live Managerial changes General managers Offseason TeamFormer GMNew GMReason for leavingNotesAtlanta BravesJohn HartJohn CoppolellaPromotedOn October 1, 2015, John Coppolella was promoted to General Manager, replacing John Hart, who will continue in his role as President of Baseball Operations.Cooper J.J.
