Building upon a suite of experimental rule changes for the affiliated minor leagues that Major League Baseball announced in March, the independent Atlantic League has agreed to implement a couple of radical changes to the rulebook this season as well, one involving the pitching distance and the other the designated hitter rule. Via MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince, the eight-team league will increase the pitching distance by a foot for the second half of its 120-game season, and will implement a “Double Hook” designated hitter rule, in which a team loses its DH spot after its starting pitcher is removed.

Last week, MLB announced that it was implementing several rule changes throughout the minor leagues in 2021. While the hostile takeover of the minor leagues was based primarily on economic factors, the new arrangement allows the league to act unilaterally on other issues as well, including the use of affiliate teams as testing grounds for new rules experimentations. Most of these rules had been proposed at one time or another in the recent past, and the league is spreading the adjustments across the various minor league levels:
Base sizes: In Triple-A, the sizes of each base will be increased from 15-inch squares to 18-inch squares.
Hillsboro Hops to open season May 4 February 18 2021
Hops President KL Wombacher says they re planning to play in front of fans as COVID-19 restrictions ease.
With a new level of play, a new coaching staff and a roster that could feature some old fan favorites back at Ron Tonkin Field, the Hillsboro Hops are set to kick off the 2021 season on May 4.
The only minor league baseball team in the Portland metropolitan area, the Hops are now the High-A affiliates of the Arizona Diamondbacks, effectively moving up two levels of play for this season and beyond.
They were formerly members of the Class A Short Season Northwest League, but a full-scale overhaul of minor league baseball over the winter saw the Hops and five other Northwest League teams move up to form a new High-A West circuit, while two other former Northwest League teams will continue to play in independent leagues.
