[Deleted]

Found this interesting as an explantion of the puzzling incease of HR's of late.   

This source says the smoking gun is reduced drag coefficent of the balls this year.  Any phD physicist in the audience?

What do the Fugees think of this explanation?

The balls are probably somewhat different but approaches have changed. More hitters are elevating and pitchers throw harder, plus fields have gotten smaller and/or yellow lines lowered. Physics.

I think this is an overblown issue.
