The first reason this happened is the introduction of an automatic ball-strike judging system, commonly referred to as a ‘robot referee’.
The robot umpires are not yet perfect, and the pitchers are shaking as the ‘discretion’ of human umpires disappears.
Also, the increase in the number of high school baseball teams may have had an impact. Even in the major leagues, when a new team is formed, the record that increases the most is the sasa ball.
So don’t be too surprised if the high school baseball records are broken one after another this season.
