Flyball Exit Velocity Nerfed?
-
Does anyone feel like some of the exit velocities are nerfed on hard hit flyballs? I’ve seen multiple instances of guys with 110+ power get perfect flyballs that are caught instead making it over the fence. My most recent example; I hit a perfect-perfect flyball with Yordan Alvarez (104 Con R 125 Pow R) on a 100 mph fastball and my exit velocity is only 98 mph and the ball doesn’t even make it to the wall. I’ve seen this with the likes of incognito Mantle too, or a live series player who is supercharged. I don’t think the exit velo should ever be lower than the pitch speed for perfect hits with the stats these guys have.
Anyone else feel like flyball exit velos are nerfed in some capacity? -
I even had a perfect flyball with Alvarez one game later that was a wall scrapper.
Glad it was a homerun, but I don’t think we should have to hold our breath on perfect-perfect flyballs with anyone with 100+ power (unless contact swinging) -
I’ve noticed a lot more catches up against the wall and I’ve had tons of hits that hit right off the top of the wall lately.

Yup. Significantly more perfects caught against the wall this year. It’s why 3 out of 5 online games are at 280’ fence max elevation little league fields. Other than Coors, you’re a masochist if you pick an MLB field.
