[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1727509, member: 746137"] It also slightly shortens the basepaths, which matters when we're talking about fractions of a second. And with other changes designed around reducing pitcher velocity thus the speed of the ball to home plate (pitch clock, batter minimums) and limiting pickoff throws, it all adds up to make the running game more favorable. A random thought I had: since we're getting rid of the DH, why not retain some difference between AL and NL by banning shifts in one but not the other? Because if they're going to play the exact same baseball in AL and NL and normalize interleague play the way they have, they should really just consider scrapping that entirely and going with four regional leagues in the East, South, Midwest, and West.
