In 2019, 15.3% of fly balls hit league-wide became home runs, thanks to the juiced ball. This year? It's just 11.1%. That's the lowest figure in over a decade. And it's despite hitters putting more fly balls into play relative to grounders than at any point in the past 15 years.

They over corrected with the juiced ball to offset all the advancements in pitching. Turns out fans don't like a three true outcome (strikeout, walk, homerun) game.
