You don't even have to go that far. Set minimum dimensions to where the likelihood of an over the fence is low enough that every player doesn't go to the plate swinging for the fence. Say 375 down the lines, 420 power alleys, 450 to center.
Golf courses haven't stayed at the same yardage as equipment has improved. They have been lengthened. It is time for MLB to address this in my opinion. The only other option is to reduce the distance that baseballs will travel when hit.
