Some of this has been alluded to above but:

1) Speed is now a bigger asset. On the bases and running down OF balls

2) Power arms are a bigger asset. Both pitchers and fielders

3) Quick release throws are a bigger asset.

4) In our ballpark, due to increased distance behind HP, passed balls normally resulted in runners moving up at least one base.

5) Good catchers are a bigger asset. Being able to receive, block, and throw.

6) Hard for weak hitters to get the ball out of the infield
