Weather Conditions
One of the most common reasons for a baseball game delay is due to inclement weather. Rain, thunderstorms, or strong winds can make it unsafe for players to compete on the field, leading to delays or even postponement of the game.
Injuries or Illness
If a key player on either team gets injured or falls ill before the game, it can delay the start of the game while the team reorganizes its lineup or finds a replacement.
Technical Difficulties
Sometimes, technical issues such as problems with the lights, scoreboard, or playing surface can cause delays in a baseball game. These issues need to be resolved before the game can continue.
Unforeseen Circumstances
Other unforeseen circumstances such as power outages, security concerns, or even wildlife intrusion onto the field can also lead to delays in a baseball game.
