Hitting is hard (and that's why the best hitters make the big bucks), but as an aside, it seems like batters get more and more help each year: DH in the NL, outlawing defensive shifts, pitch clock, etc. It's not a surprise that the league will be on board with any change that favors the offense (we've also seen pick off attempt limits and bigger bases which help the base runners).
