Francisco Lindor's one-handed HR should be evidence of MLB's juiced baseballs
Francisco Lindor的單手全壘打可以當做聯盟給球加料的證據嗎?
Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor is a strong dude who is capable
of hitting a lot of dingers — nobody is denying that. He hit 38 home runs
last season and 33 the year before that.
笑臉人游擊手Francisco Lindor是個厲害的打者，他打全壘打的能力沒有人會去懷疑。
去年他尻了38發，前年也尻了33發。
But few would expect Lindor to be able to hit a one-handed, upper-cut home
run from one knee. Well, that was until baseball's 2019 power surge happened.
但是，沒有人會想到Lindor可以單手揮擊，從膝蓋部位向上撈出一支全壘打的。不過，今
年的打者打擊大爆發就讓我們看到了。
Ahead of the All-Star Game, Astros pitcher Justin Verlander accused MLB of
deliberately juicing the baseballs to add more offense to the game. He said
that homer surge was turning the game into a "joke." This season has MLB
players on pace to shatter the 2017 record of 6,105 homers, and when you have
home run swings that look like this, it's hard not to think that something is
amiss.
在明星賽前，太色投手Justin Verlander指控聯盟故意給球加料，好讓比賽有更多的攻擊
表現，他說全壘打數狂飆讓比賽變成了一個"笑話"。本季大聯盟打者正往打破2017年6105
支全壘打紀錄邁進，而當看到Lindor那種打法打出的全壘打後，很難不讓人懷疑是不是有
問題。
During Sunday's game against the Royals, Lindor got caught with his weight
out front, went down to a knee and essentially swung with one hand. That was
still enough for the Indians shortstop to send a home run 10 rows deep into
the right field stands.
星期天笑臉對皇家的比賽，Lindor被投手投出的球騙到重心前移，從膝蓋的地方撈球，幾
乎是單手揮棒去打球。不過那樣的揮擊就足夠讓球飛到右外野後10排的觀眾席，形成全壘
打。

MLB has denied that the league is deliberately juicing the baseballs, but
studies have shown that something is objectively different about the 2019
balls.
聯盟還是否認他們有故意調整過球，但是一些報導研究都已經顯示今年的球跟以往的球有
些許不同。
Lindor's home run alone could be evidence of that.
單單從Lindor的這支全壘打可能就是證據了。
