Also, this is going to lead to a large number of stolen bases I would think.

This one comes to mind.
With regard to the clock. I do not want to be playing the 1972 WS as the A's and lose to the Reds in game 7 due to the pitcher's clock when it didn't exist. I never go to task manger and quit, but in this case I might. Having to replay that game, when it never should have happened? I have no idea what I would do, but I do know whatever it was wouldn't make me happy.
One could argue it should not be a part of any season before 2023, IE no toggle needed. But this is OOTP and somebody will complain.
If it could only be added without toggle? Then it simply shouldn't be added. I'm fine with that.
