"speed up rule"
Having the last out be able to run for the catcher would eliminate the need for a courtesy runner. That would help very short handed teams. The idea is to allow the catcher to get back to the dugout and gear up for the next half inning. If my memory serves me, we used that rule when I did D-3 and JUCO college ball back in CNY.
