Minor League Rules Question

I'm following the St. Lucie game on MILB.com. It gives a pitch-by-pitch report. Alex Ramirez just "struck out on an automatic strike". I haven't heard of this before. What is that? Does some new rule (intended to speed up games) require the ump to call a strike if, say, the batter not take his place in the batters box in X amount of time? Something else? Later

Yes

We're also seeing a limit on throw-overs to first in the minors.
