MLB and MLBPA have agreed on a new slide rule into second base. The baserunner going to 2nd must follow these 4 rules:

1) You have to slide before reaching the base

2) You have to slide in a way that you are able to, and attempt to reach the base

3) You have to slide in a way that you are able to, and attempt to stay on the base

4) You can't alter your path to the base

As long as the runner does those 4 things, he can legally take out the 2nd baseman, but obviously this rule makes it easier for the 2nd baseman to avoid the takeout slide.

edit: this play will also be reviewable.
