My solution to fix baseball: Ban relief pitchers. 53eig.ht/2Ewdoaz
OK, not literally ban relief pitchers. But limit teams to carrying 10 pitchers (starters + relievers) on the roster. This would potentially make a *lot* of difference in terms of curbing strikeout rates, and would also improve pace of play.
It's *way* too easy to throw at max++ effort if you only have to pitch 1 inning every 2nd or 3rd day. Mediocre ex-starters get massive boosts to their K rate and FB velocity when this way. Baseball has to make it harder to use the parade of 98-mph, 2-pitch, 1-inning relievers.
