It's kind of crazy. DJ LeMahieu is back to a .087 ISO guy. Gleyber Torres has a sub .100 ISO. The new ball basically ended Elvis Andrus career. The wRC+ leaderboard is full of slap hitters who used to hit 20-30 home runs but are running sub .100 ISOs now. David Fletcher is f***ing trash now. Dom Smith is trash now.
It's completely fair to say that the fringe power guys who were boosted by the juiced ball, had an UNO reverse card pulled on them and are running .050 ISOs instead of .200.
Really don't understand how there isn't more outrage over this. Millions of dollars are at stake and Manfred, as I believe BTS said, is treating the game like MLB The Show sliders.
I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong and it's just that those guys were meant to suck this year. There are some non-power guys who are still having ok ISO years. It seems like more doubles power than home run power though. Like Adam Frazier.
