Baseball set to trim pitching mound and shrink strike zone
At the winter meetings, MLB officials endorsed proposals to reduce mound height from 15 inches to near ground level and tighten the strike zone from shoulders to knees to armpits. The changes aim to boost fan appeal after the 1968 pitching year, with potential approval by the playing rules committee. Bo Belinsky joins the St Louis Cardinals in the draft, seen as a possible help as a spot starter or reliever.
