Major League Baseball has done a lot of tinkering with the rules over the last several years, and that trend will continue in 2021 with a new round of experiments in the minor leagues.
The Triple-A, Double-A, and High-A levels will each adopt a different change when they begin their seasons in May, and the Low-A level will try out multiple ideas. The league’s press release cites goals including increases in balls in play and action on the basepaths, improved pace, and a reduction in injuries.
These are just the latest new concepts to be tossed around in baseball.
