It's not like changing the 3-point line and other changes in basketball - that's a no-brainer.
Analytics has absolutely ruined sports in many ways. The front offices are smart though so the game needs to incentivize balls in play. Move the mound back, police foreign substances ruthlessly, ban the infield shift.
