The Braves traded Terry May to the Pirates for saying:
 TM> Not necessarily.  Pitchers would have to come in more, and while they'd
 TM> be able to pitch higher in the strike zone, that wouldn't necessarily
 TM> help non-power pitchers.
It would help ALL pitchers. Let's not forget that the strike zone would 
extend HIGHER and since inside pitches would be allowed to be *strikes* much 
higher than they are today, a guy like Maddux would have just as much of the 
plate to work with. When they lowered the mound in 1969, they also lowered 
the strike zone because it had a detrimental effect on hitters and it wasn't 
just the power pitchers that benefitted.
