Love them or hate them, MLB will continue to test out rule changes in 2021. Last year we saw a bunch of them at the big-league level thanks to the coronavirus pandemic limiting the season. Changes such as the universal DH and new extra innings rule were meant to help teams get through the season unharmed.
But this year, the minor leagues will be making a return after the year off, meaning that rule changes will be tested out there. MLB announced today that they will try out a number of new rules aimed at making the game faster and more efficient.
