You do know they have road and home splits on players. That will probably give you a good idea on the players who benefited.
Well that's the thing. Jose Altuve had a higher BA and a higher OPS on the road in 2017 than at home. So did Alex Bregman.
And if it weren’t helping the hitters — they would have stopped using it immediately. That’s just common sense.
That logically makes sense. But it is also possible that they only used it in high leverage situations which would make it tougher to spot. Which is why we can't just dismiss the impact of the sign stealing.
