I can think of a whole bunch of changes as a result of the bats.

Pitch calling - more inside pitching!

Outfield positioning - move 'em in, more line drives could now find the gaps for extra bases.

Coaches more involved in the offensive game, lot more hit and runs, sac bunts, steals, taking the extra base. Speed becomes more important. No more sitting back waiting for your home run hitters to clear the bases.

Containing the running game will have a higher priority for defenses.

More close plays at the plate with the outfield playing in.

Any more?
