MLB prueba reglas de posicionamiento en jardines en ligas menores para más ofensiva

Resumen del corpus

The article discusses the MLB's experiment with restricting infielders' positioning to the batter's box, aiming to increase doubles and triples. Kyle DeBarge, a Minnesota Twins prospect, played in the Arizona Fall League, where he was instructed to stay in the batter's box for better positioning. This change is part of MLB's broader effort to boost offense, following the introduction of a new rule package in 2023 that includes a pitch clock and adjustments to defensive movements. While the experiment has shown some positive effects, such as more doubles and triples, it has also led to fewer singles and has been criticized for reducing strategic depth. MLB is testing these changes in the Arizona Fall League before considering any rule changes for the major leagues.
