My current easy fix is to make the strike zone bigger to encourage swinging at marginal pitches rather than coaxing every count to get to 3-2. Hitting marginal pitches will get the defense involved, bring down homers, and maybe even the strikeouts.
None of my easy fixes have ever worked, so there's that...
Running as part of the game seems dead, though.

They don't have to hit it *that* far to right at Pinstripe Place and still make a fuss about it every time a guy pops one outta there.
