I personally think it is not the pitching but the modern hitting philosophy. Swing for the fences and it is okay to strike out 190 plus times a year and it is ok to have a low 200 average as long as you hit homers. When you swing for fences you do not have the skill set for small ball, adjusting your swing to spray the ball all over the field.
I am not sure about lowering the mound and not sure it’s impact so I cannot comment
