MVR stands for Mound Visits Remaining, which is a counting measure showing how many mound visits a team can legally take during the remainder of a baseball game under Major League Baseball (MLB) rules instituted in 2018. Mound visits are when a coach walks out to the pitcher to talk to him, and each visit is counted by the umpire since there is a limit to how many each team can have in one game. The idea behind introducing MVR in baseball was to speed up the pace of play of action, and one way to do that is to limit stoppage during a game. As of the 2020 season, five mound visits are permitted per team, per game, and if a game goes into extra innings, each team receives one more additional visit to the mound. The number of MVR is listed on baseball scoreboards in the MLB, and it is not considered an official baseball stat.
