New On-Field Experimental Rules in 2022 – 

1. Pitch Timer: On-field timers will be used to create a crisp pace of play, with batters required to be ready to hit and pitchers required to deliver a pitch within allotted periods of time. With runners on base, pitchers will have additional allotted time for each pitch but will risk automatic baserunner advancement if a third pick-off attempt or step-off within the same plate appearance is made without recording an out. 

2. Automated Ball-Strike ("ABS"): ABS technology will be used to call balls and strikes in the majority of games. A "Challenge" system will be used in select games, in which umpires call balls and strikes, and the pitcher, catcher, and batter have an ability to appeal the umpire's call to the ABS system. In Challenge Games, each team will receive three appeals. Successful appeals will be retained. 

3. Defensive Positioning: The defensive team must have a minimum of four players on the infield, with at least two infielders completely on either side of second base. 

4. Larger Bases: The size of first, second and third base will be increased from 15 inches square to 18 inches.
