intuitively, i would guess that in the OP's scenerio it would raise a players batting average as much as .075 though it might be more appropriate to express the change as a percentage gain. its likely it would help good batters more than bad batters

That's an interesting question. It would negate a good hitter's advantage in terms of recognizing pitches and adjusting to them. I think the big beneficiaries would be power hitters with high strikeout numbers (Andruw Jones, Adam Dunn, etc.).
