Also, open the suggestion forum already lol.
I'm in favor of all of those, though some would be low priorities. For example, number three: As far as I've ever heard there have been exactly two switch pitchers in professional baseball history, while there were close to a thousand women players.

Wasn't the order of who decides which hand to use finally ruled as the pitcher must decide first? If I recall correctly the rationalization was that it would follow the rule that the team at bat has the chance to pinch hit after a relief pitcher is called in, even if the current announced hitter hasn't come to the plate, while the team in the field has no chance to bring in a reliever following a pinch hitter being announced unless the current pitcher has already faced one batter. As far as I know the rules committee never overruled that on-field decision by the umpires.
