Check out Daniel Palka w/the ChiSox. He's lefty who **attempts**plays the RF/LF 1st, and DH. Last season was his rookie year, he hit 27 HRs, and was EXTREMELY clutch with limited ABs. Most Sox fans thought 'WOW'! what a great dumpster find. He was in the top 10 in Rookie of the Year voting as well. We're all thinkin we have a lefty who has massive power, Palka was to be the White Sox DH and back up corner outfielder. He came into camp like 15/20 lbs lighter, made the team outta Spring Training. Then... The sophomore slump. He was 0-for God knows what, he finally got his 1st hit. and was sent down. Did well in AAA, got the call... Cant hit again, sent back down and does well again. September rosters expands. Palka has another shot... He's now batting .021 if Im not mistaken? I feel sorry for this dude. But he's not getting paid like Chris Davis. That's just embarrassing
Dead ball = 1900-1920 Live ball = 1921-1945 Post war (integration) era = 1946-1960 Expansion era = 1961-1976 Free agency era = 1977-1993 Long ball (steroid) era = 1994-2005 Juiced ball era = present
Soylent Green ball is tighter stitching is smooth...this guy just like to cry a lot...everyone has the same balls...So this guy just pitched a no hitter 🤷🏻♂️DONT hear him cry bout that...this guy gets a blister cried about it for weeks “the balls”... this guy can’t take responsibility...Everyone is giving up homers not just him!..there is a lot of under .500 teams✌️Justin just has to BUCK UP!💪🏽LETS GO!...
The MLB ought to think about expansion opportunities to be honest. There are plenty of major markets that still don’t have teams or once had a team but no longer do (Montreal comes to mind).
Rawlings even admitted (you can find it on “baseball savings” TH-cam channel) that when collegiate levels changed to lower seam baseballs they were traveling 25 feet further. So when they measured different MLB baseballs and saw the seams were lower in newer MLB balls, it’s definitely obvious. Especially triple A’s giant increase in HR’s just the past year. Great video fuzzy. I’m all for more offense especially if players don’t need to take drugs, but pitchers definitely need to learn to create movement on low seam baseballs. The guys who know how to do it will definitely continue to shine.
How would you fix a game if both teams are using the same type of balls ? This isn’t football where the qb can determine what ball to use since there always using a new baseball on pretty much every play
@@mikedeek umpire grabs juiced balls from left side of his pocket when red sox are pitching, grabs non juiced balls from his right side of his pocket when Yankees are pitching... Not full proof but that's 1 way to give a healthy advantage to 1 team.
If you notice during a game a kid runs out to reload him multiple times from the same source . It’s not like there grabbing it from multiple locations. But I get what your saying
Abner Doubleday had NOTHING to do with the invention of baseball. The game evolved from other games over time and the basic rules of the game as we know it today were written by Alexander Cartwright.
You can just tell by batters reactions that the ball is juiced. They’ve been playing this game their entire lives, they know when they get a hold of one or got under it for a pop up. In the clips at the end, all of them had that reaction like “damn I popped out” and the ball just keeps carrying and carrying for a homer
Alloy Brax you’re* and Soto has more rbis in less games, better average, less SOs, higher OPS, higher slugging, OBP, more walks, more extra base hits. You’re the one smoking
Plus also Fuzzy you have to take the wind into effect. Chicago excluded. But depending on how the wind is going once it is in the air it may help or hinder the ball. It just depends.
YT needs to crackdown on getting rid of people that throw in commercials and ads and sponsors edited in the video content. Not fair to those that are supposed to not see any on TH-cam premium.
Aside from the baseballs, the mentality of the game is also changing. Very similar to 3pt shooting in the NBA. Now every hitter is practicing, anticipating, expected to, and capable of hitting the long ball.
My opinion : pitch velo is going up around 97-98 on average. Higher pitch velo = higher exit velo. Higher exit velo = further distance and harder to field. Further distance and harder to field = improved batting numbers
One thing I haven’t seen many people mention is the amount of players with 30+ homers, looking back at the last 10 years it’s hovered from around 10-25, this year it’s 51. Something has to be up
Also things to take in consideration: 1. An increased aerodynamic ball reduces drag in the air. This goes for pitching too. It plays into increasing velocity and the ability of adding rotation which dramatically assists with many off-speed pitches such as a slider or curve that's effectiveness is derived with its ability to break. 2. The approach of a hitters in general. Launch angles are a relevant now. I'm not sure about any of you, but growing up I had plenty of hitting coaches advocating attacking the ball at almost a more downward angle to make consistent contact. Golfing a pitch increases swings and misses but obviously betters the odds of getting it over the fence. 3. Strike outs are up as well. Pitchers are at an advantage in that regard. 4. It's the changing of times and this is how players want to play. They're becoming more skilled physically and mentally with better training, conditioning and overall knowledge of the game (especially with the amount of stats nowadays). TLDR; Verlander has a babe wife and will be in the HOF. Chill out homie, it's fair on both ends.
I met Mitch Garved about 2 months ago in Oakland, great dude and is really nice and humble. If y’all know (which you don’t) catcher is my favorite position and Garver let me put on his glove :)
2017 World Series is where I really started to notice the balls but this year is way different because 2019 will break the all time record of home runs (2017) by 400-500 home runs! Around 10 guys will have 40+ home runs or even 50. And multiple teams are breaking their own home run records this year and rookie records are getting ridiculous too
I’m pretty sure he means that more pitchers are throwing harder. Like only a few pitchers threw 100+ a few years ago. Now it seems like everyone other pitcher does.
I think the main reason that pitchers are getting mad is that some of those hits in their minds wouldnt be home runs if they weren't juiced balls, and instead have given up just a hit and not an earned run. It's their career stats they care about imo.
BEASTMODEJR 1001 I disagree. People will start watching baseball more because it is more exciting with more home runs. Every team gets the chance to hit, so why does the ball matter
Gangsta Waffles because too many home runs are boring home, it’s hit the ball and then jog. It’s fun to see plays at the plate when there’s a guy on first and then a double gets hit, you don’t get as much of that if all they do is hit home runs.
Their are more home runs but fortnite acts like that’s all the game is. There are still games without home runs. Most games only have one or two of them.
I like to see pitcher duels but I like to see the game to be a close game. I like the offense involved too. 4-3 game with the braves last night. Watching Shane Greene striking the first two out was cool. But when the nats hit that three run homer, it had me on the edge of my seat. I’m a braves fan 😂
The balls need to be measured inside and out. You could also measure how hard the balls are compared to older balls and how much tighter the yarn is wound by measuring the total length of the yarns, or just the weight of each specific yarn variety. I also wonder if the use of maple bats has increased recently and if the harder denser maple has an effect.
Not disagreeing with any point you made but you have to take into consideration that strength training and lifting techniques and workouts have been modified and improved since past baseball “eras”
Overall cocaine will hurt performance. There is a small window of it helping but it closes fast. You have to do just enough not to much and be at bat at the right time of it taking its course before you get paranoid or it gives you the s'mores and you lose focus. Cocaine giving you something is an illusion it only takes from you it just fools its users.
Even being a Braves, I love Max Scherzer. He's a great pitcher, he is also a very respectful guy. In an interview of pitchers contending for the Cy Young Award, he talks about how he loves to face Freddie Freeman because it makes him better facing "the best hitter in the game".
I think it’s a combination of all three. Also, players are learning to be more patient. Most of the leading homerun hitters are also hitting for great average.
They are, I had a friend who’s cousin (Will Myers) went straight out of high school to the MLB. He obviously was a beast in high school but when he got to the big leagues he started tanking baseballs like he had never done before. When we were taking BP together his uncle asked him why he didn’t hit like this when he played for him and he said “because the balls are juiced”...
It’s the same with NFL footballs. They are more rubbery and bouncy than Highschool/college footballs, I am a collegiate kicker/punter and so I have practiced with some NFL footballs and it’s insane when you kick them... insanely fun😂
I like the video Fuzzy and your baseball channel. But I do respectfully disagree, I'm not a fan of all the home runs. I love seeing pitchers duals and great defensive plays. Especially infielders like Nolan Arenado. But awesome videos man.
LOL climate change is definitely not the cause but statcast being introduced likely is a factor here. I still think we need more confirmation of the compositional changes. All of these things can be measured reliably (and average drag can also be measured with a pitching machine).

Are they easier to throw ?
Breaking balls should break less
188 -- More strikeouts than hits. This is the first season with more strikeouts than hits. -2018
2019- can’t let this happen again
Abner Doubleday had NOTHING to do with the invention of baseball. The game evolved from other games over time and the basic rules of the game as we know it today were written by Alexander Cartwright.
Archie Bradley for the d-backs said when he throws his curve ball the grips is different felling which makes it harder to throw it
Plot twist: the bats are juiced
Even miss plot twistier the juice is juiced.... Ya no with what? Juice
You can just tell by batters reactions that the ball is juiced. They’ve been playing this game their entire lives, they know when they get a hold of one or got under it for a pop up.

Yet, 8 no hitters this season tied for most in last 30 years
Good point. Verlander threw one.
Batters swinging for the fences plus pitchers pitching 100 mph equals a lot of no hitters
There goes fuzzy’s partnership I guess you can say,with mlb
Well the Torres one at the end is also because Yankee Stadium is all sorts of F-ed up
Justin Verlander complains,throws no hitter
Jeff Duty lol fr
Maybe he was just pissed about everyone hitting Homeruns so he made sure no one hit the ball at all

Lets be real here. They just adjusted the sliders
The Dodgers hit 250. They beat the national league record.
Hey Fuzzy I have a question, do you have any commemorative baseballs?
Well it's not juiced anymore during the playoffs. MLB wants to make sure the Astros pitchers are catered to.

Cocaine giving you something is an illusion it only takes from you it just fools its users.
Verlanders mood was maybe clouded by the fact that he was in the top 3 of pitchers getting HR's against them.
If you think about it what if the old timers had these baseballs how many homers would they hit
I hate when people say what if the older players had this. We'll never know
You forgot ronald acuna
Whoever proposed the pill idea probably got a raise
Since all these homeruns are being hit do u think they will let pitchers use pine tar or something else to help the pitchers stats?

Hi fuzzy keep up the good work
I think it’s a combination of all three. Also, players are learning to be more patient. Most of the leading homerun hitters are also hitting for great average.
Bigger seems means more drag, so smaller seems would mean less drag and more distance.

I might do A video about doing a hr derby with 2014 baseballs and 2019
Anyone ever want to discuss physics? More pitching velocity equals farther traveling baseballs.
I am convinced of what you are saying. Excellent reporting!
The players I think will hit 50 or more home runs are Mike Trout, Pete Alonso, Eugenio Suarez, Christian Yelich, and Cody Bellinger
Also most home runs hit in a month ever
"this one little white thing right here.. not talking about me" LMAO dead.
I’m inspired fuzzy keep it up
2017 WS balls were juiced, change my mind.
Nah it was the astros cheating

LOL climate change is definitely not the cause but statcast being introduced likely is a factor here. I still think we need more confirmation of the compositional changes. All of these things can be measured reliably (and average drag can also be measured with a pitching machine).
