I seem to recall a survey taken at some ASA nationals, where more than 80% stated that, with the 4-3 count, rather than 3-2, that they always waited for a first called strike before hitting away. They wanted the more action with less dead time. Henry Pollard, now as a Commissioner, is the lead proponent of this rule, with Bernie Profato close behind.
This change will most likely (again based on last year's outcome) only apply, at least at first, to Adult Slow Pitch, not youth or Seniors. If successful, it may then start to spread, like stealing.
