There's actually significant evidence to point towards Alonso being 100% correct here. X-Rays and studies of MLB baseballs have shown significant differences year-over-year in their overall composition. Additionally, when AAA adopted the MLB baseball in 2019, it experienced a significant scoring boost compared to what it had the year before.
