Plans to modify the foul strike rule in baseball
The A L committee on rules and National League reps plan to discuss changes for next season. A proposed rule would treat pitches between the hip and shoulder as strikes, shifting from the knee to shoulder as current. The idea is to balance pitcher and batter, though fans fear more walks and little change in hits. The first two fouls would be ignored, then fouls would become strikes up to two, with other proposals under review at the joint meeting.
