Reply to "Do these stats imply that smallball hasn't increased with BBCOR?"

Root,

My main point is that the decreased # of successful steals (per team per game) more or less matches--and therefore cancels out-- the increased # of successful sac bunts (per team per game).

Since those are the two prime indicators of smallball, it seems that the numbers of runners advanced via smallball hasn't increased because of BBCOR.

Considering the widespread expectation that there would be a burst of smallball with BBCOR, I think that this counterintuitive statistical scenario deserves a look.
