MLB announces experimental rule changes will be tested in the minors during the 2022 season:

Automatic balls and strikes in Triple-A (Triple-A West  from May 17th on, Triple A East at all games in Charlotte) and Low A (a challenge system in which pitcher, catcher, batter can appeal ump's ball or strike call to ABS. Three appeals each, keep the appeal if you're right.)

Pitch timer, all full-season affiliates.

Larger bases, all full-season affiliates.

Defensive positioning limits (four players on the infield, two on each side of second) in AA/A
