The 2015 Major League Baseball season is less than a week old, but there are signs that changes designed to increase the pace of play in the league are having an effect. In the 35 nine-inning games played through last night, the average length of a MLB game has been 2 hours, 52 minutes, according to Michael Teevan, spokesperson for Major League Baseball. In the comparable period from 2014, there were 33 nine-inning games that averaged 3 hours, 1 minute â 9 minutes more than so far this year. For the entire 2014 season, the average length of games was just one minute more than the opening stretch at 3:02. The pace of the game has slowed dramatically over the years. In 1981, the average length of games was 2:33.
