Report: MLB may consider limits on pitching changes and shifts

14. Some minor league teams experimented with the time clock.

The time frequently went past the allotted time, but there was no penalty though. Every batter, with every pitch, walks out of the batters box anymore. Why? Batting averages are down. So they aren't helping themselves. Keep the batters in the box unless there is a reason to step out. Have the pitcher with their foot against the rubber soon after they have the ball back to them. Limit warm up pitches with a new pitcher to 5 max. They are already warmed up, otherwise they wouldn't be sent out. Limit the time between innings to three minutes. At that time, the batter must be in the box and the pitcher must have the ball and be ready to pitch. Take the strike zone back to what it was 30 years ago. Either they swing at it or strike out. 90 seconds between batters once the play is called dead by the umps.
