Every year it’s either the pitchers or the batters complaining about baseballs. It’s a little tiresome. Batting averages are at a historic low right now at .231 across the board. The next closest is .239 in 1968. The peak of the dead all era. Pitchers are pitching very well. So unless there is some crazy spike in HBP it sounds like sour grapes to me. Which is weird because his stats look good.
