Pete Alonso hit a surprising two-run home run during the Mets' home-opener against the Blue Jays, sparking discussion among commentators about the baseballs used this season. SNY's Gary Cohen remarked on how the ball has been carrying more, suggesting it might be 'jumpy' compared to last year. The incident raises concerns given the previous controversy over varying baseball types used in 2022. This season has already seen 234 home runs, leading to speculation about the reasons behind this surge.
The ball has really been carrying early in the season. You have to be awfully strong to do it, but that was a shocking home run.
It certainly makes you consider what might be going on, whether the baseball might be a little more jumpy than it was last year.
