The New York Times must be eavesdropping on the Dinger Whiff thread.
Total hits vs strikeouts is neck and neck this year in MLB.
Batting Average is the lowest since 1972.
So what's the fix from a rule change point of view.
Increasing balls in play is suggested in the article to generate more appeal in viewing the game and I guess I agree.
So, ......
why not move the mound back a bit to decrease the effectiveness of the 100mph fastball
Or .......
reverse the the ball strike count so that four strikes are required for a strikeout and three balls get you to first base
Or.......
Both of the above.
