Poor Ball is Dead

It appears the ball is not as lively as last year.

Unlike the previous two seasons, ISO has been highest in May this year. Based on these trends, those expecting a homer barrage this summer might be disappointed. April was always going to be a modest month for power, and an early start to the season plus unseasonably cold weather provided cover for the big power drop. It turns out that drop was much bigger than should have expected. While we are seeing a somewhat normal correction over the past few months, that correction is still leading to results well below what we should expect based on the quality of the contact.

Time to adjust and start hitting the other way against the shift!
