[Petriello] 11 theories explaining Vlad’s confusing 2023 season

Better not be Theory # 10!
> Theory 2: He’s not hitting the ball as far as you’d think given how hard he’s hitting it.
I found this interesting, especially the part where they mention how he’s hitting an average of almost 50 feet shorter than 2 years ago. That’ll definitely take away base hits and tweak your OPS
I read every word of this article. Some of the points seem likely, some very unlikely
But all I hear is a little gremlin voice in the back of my head saying “no no, it’s okay, next series Vlad is gonna bat .500 for power, he’s a sleeping giant, everything is fine”
Had to read the whole thing specifically to see if they mentioned the home run jacket haha
