Here's how you revolutionize baseball
- I've never been a fan of the pitcher's mound. Supposedly it was put there for better drainage and water absorption and the pitchers found it was beneficial to them. I propose baseball gets rid of the mound completely. Instead, put the hitters in a hole. It would be just like your Rec League Softball field.
- Move the bases so that they are 180 feet apart. More running and athleticism. The bases would be between the infielders and the outfielders, so if a ball is hit to an infielder, the right fielder has to cover first. Too much standing around as it is now.
- Smaller gloves and mitts, perhaps even get rid of the webbing. Make routine hit balls not so routine.
- No longer allow players to run past first base, they have to stop or be tagged out if momentum carries them forward.

Change the pitcher's mound to the hitter's ramp
Make the ramp come up from the ground during bonus rounds, so you could hit a sharp grounder that could clear the fences. Also, you could tell guys to “hit that big ass ramp” – which would be sweet.
Add wickets, like in cricket, but only in play on home runs. Put them on second base. If the hitter hits the ball over the wall, he has to race to the plate before the fielder who tried to make the catch gets to the wickets.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

How about
a fence in front of the batter? The pitcher has to get it over the wall and the batter has to make sure his swing won’t cause a ricochet.
Don't hate the game, hate the nerds!

okay

I have to get this off my chest. You’re in Rec League Softball. There is NO NEED to come up to bat, and scratch the communal dirt 33 times like . . . well crap, I can’t think of a Padre who does it . . . to get a foothold solid enough to prepare you to swing for a 514 ft. home run. In fact, you don’t even need to wear real cleats for rec league softball. You also don’t need to do Ichiro-like batting rituals, or wag your bat like Gary Sheffield.
The last league I was in had two trenches in the right-handers batting box by the second week, that I started batting left-handed, just to be able to have somewhere flat to stand. And then I saw the main perpetrator, who was this bald, fat, roided-up has-been who bragged about how he played with Michael Jordan on the Birmingham Barons back in like 1995, but he waddled his way into the batter’s box looking like Matt Stairs, kicked the dirt 23 times, and then hit these crazy moon shots that landed in the soccer fields, pissing off all these Brazilians.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
