Nothing earth shattering....like removing the base advance on an illegal pitch.
Here are some of the significant (IMO) proposals:
If a base distance or pitching distance is found to be incorrect, wait until the completion of the complete inning to fix it.
Change the time limit in Championship play to no new inning plus one more complete inning
Allow the coach to make a dead ball appeal
FP pitcher must bring hands together for minimum of 2 seconds, maximum of 10 seconds before pitch
Some other stuff to clean up and clarify the "bat the roster" rules
