Most likely changes

Universal DH - I believe that everyone plays and that means that pitchers should hit but I can see the boredom with a guy who hits, on the average, .131 (when the league averages are .291). If the universal DH comes to be, I think that the "double hook" should be instituted: pull your starting pitcher and you lose your DH.

Expanded playoffs - instead of 5 teams from each league making the playoffs, the number may increase to as many as 8. I can see this as it keeps more fans engaged.

Automatic strike zone - This is a change that is way overdue. Umpires are notorious for having...flexible? strike zones. take 10 umps and you will see at least 10 different strike zones (and some even change during the game). I believe that everyone would love to have a consistent shoulders to knees strike zone vs. what it is now.

Less likely changes

Pitch clock - anything that can cut back on a 3+ hour game is probably worth it.

Moving the mound back - right now it is 60" 6' (or 18.44 m for those who love the metric system). I can understand it with pitchers' velocities getting higher every year and the mound distance scaling that back but it is highly unlikely.

What are your changes to baseball (if any)?
