from what ive heard and read it is to promote more of the running game. in addition to the base size increase a pitcher can only throw over to a base once per batter so after the 1st throw over to say 1st the runners lead can increase a bunch. i think the clock will result in more base stealing as well due to the pitcher needing to get set and go.

im not a huge baseball watcher, but you can see the difference in base size to be sure.
