1. Halofan Posted: April 07, 2007 at 11:04 PM (#2328767)What is "it"? The weight/height ratio? (why not use BMI anyway?) But despite the weight-height ratio being in line with the early 90s, offense by all measures is well above that level. The drop in offense since 2001 or thereabouts might be solely attributable to the drop in BBs they document. And of course swings of this size have been seen before in baseball history so attributing this to much of anything based on their analysis is a stretch.
