Minimal rule changes coming to Minor League ball this year, but there will be a few tweaks with the ABS system in AAA and A(FSL) with strike zone being 3 inches wider in A than AAA. The top of the strike zone will be increased by 2.5%.

That seems strange, to have a different strike zone. Seems that you want to train batters and pitchers learn the correct zone from the start. If it’s because pitchers contro is not as good and they’re concerned there will be too many walks, change it to 5 balls for a walk

MLB and players working together to define one.

MLB and players working together to define one. Agree, but the zone should be the zone in all levels. Next they’ll be changing the mound height and distance between the bases at each level
