Photo taken March 18, 2021, in Tempe, Arizona, shows the new baseball that has been used in major league spring training games before its introduction in the regular season. An independent lab has found the new balls will fly one to two feet shorter on balls hit over 375 feet, according to the Associated Press. The league saw a record 6,776 home runs hit in 2019 before the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
