Yes. In the past MLB lowered the pitcher’s mound and widened the strike zone to benefit hitters, and there’s been talk in recent years of doing it again, or moving back the mound. The league also recently instituted the pitch clock, which helped hitters a little.

A wider strike zone benefits pitchers, not hitters.

You’re right of course, that was a brain fart on my part.

The actual change was lowering the height of the strike zone (to help hitters.)
