I think there are too many strikeouts AND home runs getting to the point of boredom. To me, this means you shouldn’t just disadvantage pitchers because that will increase home runs even more.
I would consider making the ball a little bigger and heavier. Small changes there could make a big difference. That would slow down pitches, put more balls in play but also fewer home runs. The fences are too close in some parks. Unfortunately, I think baseball will only address the strikeout issue without addressing home runs.
