This limited the rights of major league clubs to draft players from the PCL, and was considered an act toward the circuit becoming a third major league.<sup id="cite_ref-2017RB_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2017RB-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sudden_decline">Sudden decline</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pacific_Coast_League&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Sudden decline"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The shift to the Open classification came just as minor league teams from coast to coast suffered a sharp drop in attendance, primarily due to the availability of major league games on television.

Additionally, the PCL lost customers to the major league teams which then occupied the same territory. The league never recovered from these blows.

One exception was the use of the <a href="/wiki/Designated_hitter" title="Designated hitter">designated hitter</a> (DH). Whereas the application of the DH rule in Major League Baseball is determined by the identity of the home team, with the rules of the home team's league applying to both teams, PCL pitchers hit when both clubs were National League affiliates and they agreed to have their pitchers hit. Two National League affiliated clubs may agree to use the DH instead. The reason for this is that as players move up and get closer to reaching the majors, teams prefer to have the rules follow (as closely as possible) those of the major leagues. The DH is always used when one or both teams are American League affiliates.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Since MLB's adoption of the universal DH in 2022, this no longer is an issue. </p><p>Other differences lay in the use of professional baseball's <a href="/wiki/Pace-of-play" class="mw-redirect" title="Pace-of-play">pace-of-play</a> initiatives which began to be implemented in 2015.
