How the new rules changes will affect the Astros as MLB attempts to move its games along and have more hits.
Increasing the size of the bag and banning the shift could help Astros like Kyle Tucker.On Friday, Major League Baseball approved changes to rules in the game beginning in 2023.
The universal designated hitter, adding a runner on second for each extra inning and some adjustments to instant replay were all in place this season and remain, but the new rules add additional wrinkles to the game meant to speed up play and generally shorten games. MLB tested these in the minor leagues for several seasons before considering implementing them at the big league level. How will they impact the Astros? Let's see.
This is clearly a move by baseball to encourage offensive output, but, as numerous outlets have reported,. Regardless, teams will have to keep two players on either side of second base beginning next season. For pull heavy hitters like Kyle Tucker, Yordan Alvarez and Alex Bregman, this could be a benefit, but the players association believes it is unfair to pitchers, who fear more opportunities for runs scored. We shall see.
