3 batter minimum for a pitcher is a terrible rule that will fundamentally alter the game's strategy. Just say no.
Couldn't you also argue that you're making that change to try to restore baseball back to a better version of the game? In 1980, teams averaged 15 pitchers used for the season. In 2018, they averaged 27 pitchers used for the season.
Toronto led the league with 36 pitchers used last season. They pitched 22 guys out of their bullpen. Almost none of their RP averaged an inning per game.
I don't know, it's just a little much. To draw a parallel, I don't really like what analytics has done to the NBA - I think layups and 3s are kinda boring. If they extended the 3-point line to 25 feet and brought back mid-range jumpers, I guess you could argue that's "fundamentally altering the game's strategy" but it's also altering it back to when the game was more enjoyable to watch imo.
