In 2022, the MLB tested out a bunch of new rules in the minor leagues. In 2023, some of those rules have become a part of Big League baseball games. Now there are more new rules being tested in the Atlantic League (an affiliate league of the MLB), and it's possible that these rules could also be implemented in Major League Baseball. In this episode, we go through these rules and discuss whether or not we'd like them to become MLB rules. Listen now and let us know your thoughts on the new rules!
