Major League Baseball <\/a>admitted using baseballs of two different weights during the 2021 season due to a COVID-era manufacturing issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, an Insider study<\/a> found that, not only were “juiced” balls still in circulation, a third MLB baseball was introduced in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In recent seasons, many pitchers have complained that the baseballs felt different, and 2022 was no different. New York Mets<\/a> starter Chris Bassitt went on a rant in April about the balls feeling different throughout a game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to the 2022 All-Star Game<\/a>, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said two balls were used in 2021 due to an issue with a Rawlings plant in Costa Rica. A “new, lighter, deader ball” was deliberately used. However, due to supply chain issues, the league had no choice but to go to its reserves \u2014 the “juiced” ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, Society for American Baseball Research astrophysicist Meredith Wills, who found that two baseballs were used last year, did research once again on balls accumulated throughout the year and found that a third has entered the mix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Insider is calling them “Goldilocks” balls, the third one that falls between the “dead” balls and “juiced” balls, both of which were found in play this past season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The third ball\u2019s weight is, on average “about one-and-a-half grams lighter than the juiced and one gram heavier than the dead.”<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference with the balls? A heavier baseball<\/a> has been shown to jump off a player\u2019s bat more, resulting in higher exit velocities and, in turn, more home runs. A dead ball, or lighter ball, would produce the opposite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The report also indicates that the “Goldilocks” balls were primarily found in postseason games<\/a>, the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby when collected. They were also found at Yankee games and commemorative games with specific stamps on them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MLB told Insider its report was “wholly inaccurate and just plain wrong.”<\/p>\n

“[MLB] doesn’t give a damn about it,” Bassitt said via SNY. “We’ve told them our problems with [the baseballs]. They don’t care.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
