Dee-fense!
These charts are from an article by Travis Sawchick on FanGraphs back in 2018. It’s preliminary stuff and not definitive, and raises a lot of questions, but is interesting nonetheless. Is baseball better or worse for this trend of fewer chances by fielders? I don’t know, but it points out that the game is certainly different than before and is constantly changing.
The whole article is worth a read. And there are some good points raised by readers in the comments section. I’ve been looking for more on this and would like to find some fresher references than a three-year old column, but I think this is fascinating stuff regardless.
