Either way it is a solution saying we want less Ks. Instead of having hitters change their approach, they are changing the game to work around a poor ABs and coaching.
Fans love home runs. Hitters are accommodating by swinging for the fences, even with 2 strikes. In 2018, almost 40% of the home runs hit in MLB were when the batter had 2 strikes. For a hitter to change his approach, he may get on base more often, but we would see a lot less home runs. MLB knows this. Moving the mound back would mean even more home runs. The league is flush with cash now. But the future doesn't look bright, as the young fan base shrinks. They are trying to make the game more "exciting" by giving the fans more of what they want. It has nothing to do with the integrity of the game. It's all about money.
