Major League baseball games will look different next year. The controversial infield shifts that have shut down many hitters will be outlawed. A pitch clock will be instituted to speed up games. Bases will be enlarged from 15 inches to 18 inches. The biggest surprise is that team owners have voluntarily agreed in principal to allow minor league players to unionize.
