Poor Babe had to deal with the mid pitch shadow change!
Depending on the time of year and game time here in KC, there is occasionally an inning or two where the upper deck shadow crosses between the pitchers mound and home plate. Our radio announcers talk about it, and I’ve heard players mention it in interviews. Basically the ball leaves the pitchers hand in full sun and then ‘goes dark’ halfway home.
Sounds like it’s difficult to adjust for that.
So what I’m saying is, Chapman was lucky to have that shadow otherwise Babe would have smoked it
