This isn't right - the league can change the rules. NFL has done a wonderful job over the years on this.

Baseball has done a terrible job, but at least seems to have turned the corner with the pitch clock. Maybe they'll move the mound back a couple feet, make the ball 5.5oz, reduce the field by a player and then we'll get more entertainment and the players can still try their hardest to win.

I wonder if anyone has made an engine for simulating MLB play with various rule changes.

Personally, I think it'd be interesting to see how the game plays if you could only have two outfielders (but you could shift however you choose.)

It's a good thought.

I'd guess MLB The Show video game wouldn't be a bad place to start. They should have a decent simulator built in.
