I also wanted to add this Q&A from Kyle Glaser at BA, as it relates to the article above:New Ball Has Made 2019 A Season Unlike Any Other
We’ve written a lot about the new Triple-A baseball this year and how it’s changing the game. But every time we write about it, we hear many of the same questions. With that in mind, here’s a simple explanation of what is proving to be the wildest season of Triple-A baseball in our lifetimes.

With the AAA balls creating such a change in offensive production, do scouts and evaluators need to put more time, effort, and weight into AA performance?
Kyle Glaser: They already are. There's a train of thought out there that any and all Triple-A performances this year should be given zero consideration - especially if they were at the level last year and weren't very good and all the sudden they popped this year.
