That's actually a cool new rule. I know the baseball fundamentalists won't like it if they move that rule up to the MLB... I'm kind of the same with hockey, most of the time can't stand when they make new rules.

You can already run to first on a swing and miss on strike three if the ball gets by.   I'd like to see it.

Yeah I know about a dropped third strike. I like the risk/reward aspect of the rule. Although if the ball ends up going all the way to the backstop I don't see anyone ever getting thrown out.

Don't like it. I'm a baseball purist.

I like it-3rd strike rule/wild pitch benefits the batter.

The NEW rule stated that batters may “steal” first base on any pitch not caught in flight and the batter may be thrown out if he tries to run, according to an MLB/ALPB press release that described the changes.

Why the restatement?

Thanks to a new experimental rule change in the Atlantic League, he was able to steal first and make history.

Not in MLB. I'm OK if the minors try things.

I could see some debate if the batter sees the PB and takes a step to first and then stops.

Can the batter do this if another runner is on first with fewer than 2 outs?
