Emphasis on Slugging % + pitcher's doctoring baseballs = dismal BA.
Spin Rate science has turned decent pitcher's to unhittable pitcher's. Rosin and sunscreen (technically illegal but accepted) make an almost super glue tackiness. I'd bet 99% of pitcher's in mlb are using something besides rosin to increase grip which increase spin Rate.
Players are vocal about it, but MLB has basically said 2021 will be an investigative season. Use the doctoring as bargaining chips with the players union. Just like the DH
