Or rather, what current rules would you ensure were enforced?
I'd like to see fewer bases awarded when a pitch hits a batter that makes no (if any) attempt to get out of the way. I've seen too many batters lean into a pitch and be awarded first base.
I'd also like to see a "delay of game" rule. The pitcher gets 30 seconds (or a reasonable amount of time) between the time he gets the ball back and the time he begins his windup, or an automatic ball is called. Similarly, the batter gets 30 seconds (or a reasonable amount of time) to get back into the box, after which the pitcher may throw even if the batter is not ready to hit.
I would be perceived as such an asshole as a home-plate umpire, kind of like the cop that pulls you over for going 3 mph over the speed limit.
