Baseball alters the strike zone to armpits to knees and lowers the mound to 10 inches, aiming to aid hitters after a year with pitching dominance. Expos manager Gene Mauch supports changes as helpful to hitters while Don Drysdale warns against rushing judgment. Rigney says effects may be psychological but urges clarity for hitters. The rules also standardize game endings after suspensions and adjust ERA for relievers, while making saves official.
