MLB has an issue regarding pitching dominance
TheAnalytics replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
MLB is overthinking all of this. Keep everything the same except make the ball 5-10% bigger in terms of circumference and weight. This will directly influence the game by: 1. Reduce pitching velocity 2. Increase contact rates 3. Decrease home run rates And I believe it would also have indirect positive effects on pitcher elbow injuries as well as realigning hitting incentives to a more contact-oriented approach. -
A lot of good points made in here but I wanted to clarify something - there are no WAR frameworks which look at a pitcher’s win/loss record or run support. Fangraphs uses FIP Baseball Reference uses RA9 Baseball Prospectus uses DRA
