I don’t pay attention across the board as I used to, but I noticed something with my Orioles, and am wondering if others think it’s an overall trend, or team by team:
the biggest plus the Orioles #1 pick this year has is speed. He is not a power guy, at all. If is seemingly Vince Coleman like. Also, the Orioles have been running more the last year or two. I also read an article how the O’s are trying to hit the ball up the middle to keep rallies going, rather than rely on the HR. (Earl Weaver rolling over in his grave.)
Are the new rules, which take away the shift, limit pick off throws, etc, bringing baseball, as a whole, back to the traditional style of play?
