From reading the linked article, I think the "increase the size of its bases from 15 to 18 square inches" could be quite interesting. A field is 90' square with the distance measured from the apex of the plate (e.g. point at catcher) to the back edge of 1st and 3rd base. So a different set of bangers at 1st, but potentially more hits. Same for steals - it's that much closer for the steal which many times is out/safe by fingertips. Add 2 feet for the pitch to reach the plate and that's a game changer.
