Baseball season is underway, and in Vermont Edition's baseball show we'll look at how teams across the league are stacking up and discuss some big rule changes under consideration that Major League Baseball hopes will shake up — and speed up — the sport.
The changes MLB is proposing could affect everything from pitchers to rosters to trades.
Some changes under consideration include moving the pitching mound back by two feet, a requirement for all pitchers who take the mound to face a minimum of three batters — prompting the question, whither the LOOGY? — as well as bans to many defensive shifts and implementing a computerized strike zone.
Joining the discussion are:
- VPR's Amy Noyes
- VPR's Mitch Wertlieb
- Burlington City Council President Kurt Wright
Broadcast live on Friday, April 5, 2019 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
