Will Experimental Rules Improve MLB? - a podcast by Locked On Podcast Network, Kevin Weiss, Ulises Sambrano

In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano discuss Major League Baseball (MLB)'s plan to introduce several significant experimental rules throughout the minor leagues, in an effort to aimed at creating more balls in play and action on the basepaths, improving the pace and length of games and reducing player injuries.
They include:
-Slightly larger bases with a less-slippery surface (all Triple-A leagues)
-Requirement that all four infielders have their cleats within the outer boundary of the infield dirt when the pitch is delivered (all Double-A)
-Requirement that pitchers must step off the rubber to attempt a pickoff (all High-A)
-Limit of two pickoff attempts per plate appearance (all Low-A)
-15-second pitch clock (Low-A West only)
-Automatic ball-strike system (Low-A Southeast only)
We dialogue how feel about all these changes, which may or not see the light of day in the bigs someday. Kevin puts on his "Commissioner cap" and takes things even a step further, again suggesting a need for a much shorter regular season with many seven-inning games mixed in, as well as an idea to make last innings more entertaining to the casual fan.
