Homeruns in baseball—fair balls hit out of the field of play—have risen since 1980, driving strategic shifts in gameplay. Myriad factors likely account for these trends, with some speculating that global warming has contributed via a reduction in ballpark air density. Off the field, MLB took some major steps toward change this spring. But the exhibition season showed us that fans should anticipate another year of games loaded with the three true outcomes. The chances of a homerun increase but so do the chances of strikingout. This during a time where hitters are already facing a never-ending stream of hurlers who hit 95mph or more on the radar gun and tally up strikeouts. MLB is experimenting with moving the mound back in one of its independent partnered leagues. The change could reduce strikeouts and homeruns, which many argue are too prevalent in today's game. It could also force pitchers to re-learn how to throw breaking balls. susbcribe to get me to 5k subs! Follow me on instagram @tigernationyt...
