MLB offense is nearing all-time lows — hitters have theories: ‘Pitching is out of control’. "This association is so extreme at the present time, man," Sailors first baseman Ty France said. "Pitchers are tossing hard with order and have three fastballs presently: sink; cut; blur. Everything." The hitters onto something here are as well? Are pitchers truly more unhittable than any other time in recent memory? Or on the other hand is this about the variety of unhittable, unusual stuff being planned in throwing labs all over baseball?
