New Initiatives to Speed Up Baseball
Briefly

Once a hitter enters the batter's box, he will be required to keep at least one foot in the box until the end of his at-bat. The foot cannot be prosthetic; it must be attached by musculature to the hitter's body.
Managers can no longer rush onto the field to challenge a call. Instead, robots with painted frowning faces loosely based on the managers' actual faces will roll onto the field to confront umpires with angry whirring noises.
A batter who hits ten foul balls in a single at-bat is allowed to take first base. The team in the field will then have five minutes to chase him down.
