Far too often, the result of a plate appearance is either a strikeout, a walk, or a home run. We are ensconced in what we refer to as the “three outcome” phase of baseball. Was anyone talking about “launch angle,” “exit velocity,” or “spin rate” in 2016? This would have been unimaginable even five years ago. The latest negative development is even more troubling.įor the third year in a row, there were more strikeouts than base hits. But many of us have been railing about game length for a couple of decades.
