MLB Executives Weighing Potential Effects of Rule Changes on Roster Construction
“It’s going to be really interesting to see how much of an impact it makes relative to what happened in the minor leagues,” says Rays senior vice president of baseball operations and general manager Peter Bendix. “Because you can look at Triple A, or wherever, and see what happened one year to the next, but that’s not the big leagues, right? So until you actually do it … my guess is as good as yours.
Pitchers will be limited to two pickoff throws per plate appearance. A third will result in the runner advancing a base.With the shift ban, for instance, there’s plenty of objective information available in batted-ball data. It’s simple to tell which players finished last year with the most outs that would have been hits under the new rules. But there’s a subjective portion, too: Some players have talked about the mental impact of looking up and seeing three men on the right side of the infield.
“It’s going to have defensive impact as well as offensive,” Royals executive vice president of baseball operations and general manager J.J. Picollo says. “It’s very evident that your second baseman is going to have to have that range … not being able to come off the dirt at all, needing to turn double plays, that’s going to change.”
They can look at the data from the minor leagues and extrapolate as much as possible. They can talk to their current players for some additional perspective. But most don’t want to commit to any moves that are too extreme just yet.
