New Strike Zone Changes Expose MLB Exibition Play
The Associated Press reports the expanded strike zone will debut Saturday as all 20 major league teams begin exhibitions. Yankees host Baltimore in Fort Lauderdale while Giants meet Cleveland in Tucson. The rule extends top height to shoulder thorax and lowers bottom from knee, boosting contact but possibly reducing homers. Notable debuts include managers Tebbetts Bragan Pesky Lopat Kennedy. Star players Koufax Lary Gibson Musial Wynn aim to prove durability after injuries.
