You guys mentioned that Albies could be a guy who benefits from the juiced ball after getting called up (potentially seeing a power spike). Do the minor league circuits use a different ball than MLB, or have minor league power numbers been inflated too?
Minor leagues use a different ball that’s produced at a separate facility.
