Any thoughts of why hitters had a harder time putting elite fastballs in play during '11, than they had during '08-'10?

The quick take is PED's, right? I think that more pitchers are throwing better off speed pitches, which is slowing down bats a bit, not allowing them to pull as often. Even the hardest throwers were throwing some off speed pitch 20 percent of the time. That's enough to disrupt timing for sure.

Not sure why the quick take would be PEDs. Why would they be less prevalent in '11 then in '08-10?
I am going with SSS. I don't think three years of data is enough to go on and one year is certainly not enough information.

Well I hear Linda Ronstadt is looking for a guitar player.

I agree with Can_of_Corn that it's due to small sample size.
As for PEDs, they do not help you see the ball better.
