MLB Used Multiple Baseballs During 2022 Season, Impacting Aaron Judge’s Home Run Chase

Major League Baseball still has a baseball problem, one that relates to the Yankees and a milestone chase.

According to Insider’s Bradford William Davis, Dr. Meredith Wills analyzed 204 game-used balls from the 2022 season. The Society for American Baseball Research award-winning astrophysicist’s research suggested that the league used three different balls throughout the year.

This report follows a 2021 Insider story that revealed the league had two different balls in circulation. One ball had a center weight approximately 2.5 grams heavier than the other.
