I think baseball passed a rule without telling anybody about it. They banned the hit and run.

Point of comparison.

Yogi Berra, one of the two best catchers of his generation... 7,555 AB's, .285 lifetime, 385 homers, 414 K's.
Yadier Molina, one of the two best catchers of his generation... 7,259 AB's, .281 lifetime, 167 homers, 835 K's. And that's not a bad rate in the minds of today's execs and managers. Horses***.

Strikeouts are boring. Homer's get to be boring. Keep the ball in play and you have a chance.
