I mean how far the ball travels when they connect. Not just talking about Judge or Stanton but the HR's are way up in general in MLB.
I heard this year's balls were slightly different, might be a factor,.. the ball's stitching is higher, seems like it would benefit pitchers, didn't though,.. in fact, the raised stitching's biggest impact was causing chronic finger blisters amongst starting pitchers. The balls at the extreme edge of being out of compliance, were more plentiful, might be a factor. It's thought that a new hitting philosophy catching on has had the largest impact on HR numbers,.. Batting coaches are instructing their players to use more of an upper-cut swing now.
Yesterday when Didi Gregorius hit a home run Yankees play by play announcer John Sterling said "This is the dawning of the age of Gregorius."
Lol I still can't stand to listen to him. Astros tied for first. How many have they lost of the last 8 or 10 games. Boston is 50 games above 500?
