Great look at the factors returning MLB pitching statistics back to their historic norms. The drug crackdown is likely the most important thing but so is the fact pitchers are facing smaller batters, resulting in their own confidence rising again.

Great to see. The roughly 10 year period of the mid-90's to the mid-2000's will prove to be one of the most shameful and statistically irrelevant in major league history.
