I ran the one year sim and home runs were +7%. This is post-patch. Pre-patch, i was getting 2-3% increase in home runs.

I'm certainly not saying there is anything wrong, and after all it is just one sim (I am running more) but felt i should chime in with what I am seeing as well. Hoping others can share their results also.

btw. To possibly counter-act any bias, Dave Shoenfield of ESPN recently noted home runs jumped 723 between 2014 and 2015.

Where did all the home runs in 2015 come from? - SweetSpot- ESPN
Ran another one season test, home runs were up 6.3% over 2015 shown in the Historical Simulation Accuracy section of the game. Not saying this is good or bad, just sharing and hopeful someone else might chime in with their sim season results for context?
