From FanGraphs:
Controlling the running game will be far more important in 2023 than it’s been in decades, thanks to a new rule that limits the number of pickoff throws pitchers can make. Stolen base attempts exploded and success rate climbed when various minor leagues instituted versions of the same rule; you can expect more steals, particularly from elite-speed types, in the big leagues next year.
The Guardians are one of the "elite-speed types"; they tied for first in the "speed" category (FanGraphs) and were 3rd in stolen bases.
The limited number of throws to 1B will be a huge mistake... I'm waiting for the rule that has to be changed cause out changes the game too much and cause more throws in previous years...
