Strikeouts went from 4 strikes to 3 in 1888. The 1887 rule stated that if the third strike was a called strike, the batter would get a fourth strike.
Walks went from 5 balls to 4 in 1889.
Using the rules of the day, 10 batters hit over .400 in the 1887 season (walks were counted as base hits in 1887). Computing 1887 batting averages as they are done today, only 2 batters hit over .400.
