No more blackouts. More balls in play. An Albert Pujols farewell tour. This is the si_mlb staff's New Year's wishes for 2022 ⬇️
MLB should get serious about modifying the rules to reduce strikeouts and get the ball in play more often. The 2021 season marked the first time since 2005 that the league-wide strikeout rate didn't increase. In those 16 years, strikeouts have shot up by 42%, from a rate of 16.4% to 23.2% before MLB cracked down on pitchers' use of sticky substances, causing a small decrease from the 23.4% figure seen in 2020).
Unfortunately, rising strikeout rates and declining batting averages are not unique to MLB—these are trends, too. Pitchers' stuff is faster and nastier at every level. The game's decision-makers have lowered and raised the mound to combat one-sided dominance in the past. I think what's happening now will require a more drastic solution—perhaps moving the mound back instead of lowering it.
