MLBTR on the new baseball being used:
The new ball will be reduced in weight by under one-tenth of an ounce, and will also be slightly less bouncy (as determined by the coefficient of restitution, or COR).
While the end result of these changes wonât be entirely known until we see the baseball in action during the season, the changes seem to have been made in order to âincrease consistency in the ballâ and also deaden it to some extent. An independent lab cited in the league memo detailed a reduction by one or two feet of distance on fly balls hit beyond 375 feet, and an analyst who spoke with Sarris and Rosenthal believes âitâll be like adding five feet of outfield walls to every wall in the big leagues.â The analyst believes an overall five percent reduction in home runs is possible, though it isnât yet known how the newer ball will be affected by drag.
