Justin Verlander was the Cy Young Awardee in 2019 but that did not keep him from taking a charge on Major League Baseball for implementing juiced balls to increase offense. Although Justin Verlander did play the season’s All-Star game as a starting pitcher, but the current 9-time All-Star has allowed a Major League Baseball high 26 home runs that season before the All-Star Break.
Overall, Major League Baseball players hit 3,691 home runs in the season’s first half and were on pace to hit 6,668 home runs, which would obliterate the record 6,105 hits MLB had in 2017. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred acknowledged in June that the baseballs in use this year have less drag because the core of the ball is better centered.
“It’s a f—ing joke,” said Justin Verlander, before the All-Star game that year. “Major League Baseball’s turning this game into a joke. They own Rawlings, and you’ve got Manfred up here saying it might be the way they center the pill. They own the f—ing company. If any other $40 billion company bought out a $400 million company and the product changed dramatically, it’s not a guess as to what happened.”
Major League Baseball were the wrongdoers according to All-Star Justin Verlander, juicing balls to build on offense
Justin Verlander added while ranting on Major League Baseball, “We all know what happened. Manfred the first time he came in, what’d he say? He said we want more offense. All of a sudden he comes in, the balls are juiced? It’s not coincidence. We’re not idiots.”
He was then asked if he feels the MLB has intentionally juiced all the balls, Verlander had an answer before the question was completed, “Yes. 100 percent. They’ve been using juiced balls in the Home Run Derby forever. They know how to do it. It’s no coincidence. I find it really hard to believe that Major League Baseball owns Rawlings and just coincidentally the balls become juiced.”

Despite the allegations Major League Baseball committee concluded a report in December 2019, “No evidence was found that changes in baseball performance were due to anything intentional on the part of Rawlings (the company that makes the league’s official baseballs) or MLB and were likely due to manufacturing variability,”
Justin Verlander was well aware of the cheekiness of Major League Baseball, he told ESPN “I hate the way I feel out there, no matter who’s the batter, I feel like I’m constantly walking a tightrope, because any batter can go opposite field.”
