His flyout rate would have predicted it too. Balls that used to clear the fence were caught at or near the warning track-a clear sign of a slower bat. Flyouts can be quantified and the rate is a pencil and paper calculation. If his flyout rate was up, his bat was getting slower. Knowing the exit velocity would have verified this, not uncovered it.
