1. Widening the runner's lane: This gives a more direct path for RH batters. They can run inside the line, but not on the grass. This will make it easier..dirt = good, grass = bad.

2. Pitch clock: Reduction of the pitch clock from 20 to 18 seconds, with runners on base. Remains at 15 seconds with no one on. Pitchers can still step off, twice.

3. Mound visits: Reduced from five to four. In 2023, teams averaged just 2.3, so no real change except for a few teams that abused it.

Thoughts?
