The reason for the change was to accommodate the improved equipment and athleticism of many of the players. In turn, a by-produc.t will give a defender maybe .25 seconds more to execute a play. Remember, it is only one stride for most runners.

BTW, the point about a safety factor is myth. Other than the pitcher and catcher, any fielder could always play as deep as they elected to play regardless of the location of the bases.
When Im not umpiring...I play 3B on a rec team I like to play in front of the base .
