In the future, Would you expect stats to be better then ever before or stay the same?

Answer 1

Once steroid use ends completely stats will come down and level off. Comparing Babe Ruth's numbers with Barry Bonds numbers is ridiculous. We saw the steroid spike from around 1996 until last season. Things should get back to normal provided major league baseball stops turning its back on the issue.

Answer 2

well yes stats change but they are tw aspects that effect that change. better batters and better pitchers. baseball also has done things in the past that effects those areas. such in 1968 when bob gibson had a 1.12 era and lost 9 games. pitching was so dominat that year that they lowered the pitching mound.

Any time you add an expansion team the better hitters and ptichers explode with career years. the reason is the quality pool is lowered. you now have 2 teams that are basically triple aaa players and big names just feed off them.

Answer 3

i think stats will always improve because bigger and better ball players will enter the leauge and eventually make 60 homeruns the average in a season to me thats whats killing baseball...its not going to be fun anymore knowing that there is a guy on deck that can definately always tie or win the game...we need more baseball players like derek jeter who are the best at there position as they are driving in runs and scoring the go ahead run

Answer 4

i think that stats will eventually get better, as they have progressed from the late 1800's and Babe Ruth's 50+ home runs, to Barry Bonds 70+ home runs a couple of years ago. Everything changes, and baseball is no different.

Answer 5

The future the players will be better than now with the advances in the medical field.I went to a high-school basketball game fri. night and the kids were bigger,stronger,faster than when I played 30 years ago,and in 30 more years they will continue to get bigger,stronger,faster.
