The first phase of the fly-ball revolution was getting balls off the ground. Both Lindor and Ramírez did that, increasing their average launch angles (and home-run totals) by the year. But the second, and arguably more important, phase was pulling those balls in the air. And in the teammates’ mutual evolutions, they made no trade-off at all in swing-and-miss, which one would expect to be a detrimental side effect of trying to lift more balls in the air.
