Pitching has improved by leaps and bounds recently
Batters have adjusted by swinging for the fences instead of trying to piece together numerous singles
The result is, perhaps, not the most exciting game for the fans
So, MLB is, and should, be looking at changing the rules
I, personally, would prefer seeing the mound lowered or moved back, maybe accompanied by an increase in the size of the strike zone. If this would work to incentivize contact without hurting, physically, pitchers.
I don't know that it would.
