It's definitely the ball. I thought I read that tests showed that it had less drag than previous versions, thus flyballs were carrying farther.



I'm still not certain if this change is good or bad though. It clearly means that every player up and down the lineup has to be able to put the ball out though. No more Ozzie Smiths on the teams. But it's also brought HR derby into each game, and people do love dingers. Just not Barry Bloated Head Bonds dingers.
