Furthermore, did the NCAA rule gurus consider the fact that many pitchers can change up their arm speed, or delivery style, in an attempt to fool the runners and gain multiple outs via this rule where in the past they would have just gotten one? This shows, IMO, a lack of foresight by the rule makers.

They can't, defense is not going to get one out for LBR and a second out via the batter making an out on the same play.
12.20.2 Notes, P.151.
