SPORTS BRIEFING
ALPINE SKIING
Opening races at ski worlds postponed due to snow-
storm — The women’s combined that was slated to open
the alpine skiing world championships on Monday was post-
poned due to heavy snowfall. Then organizers also pushed
back the men’s super-G from Tuesday to Thursday to allow
more time to clear the course. It’s a rough start for an event
that was already deprived of fans due to a nationwide ban on
spectators at sports competitions in Italy amid the corona-
virus pandemic. Three feet of snow has fallen since Sunday,
and more was coming down on Monday afternoon, making it
nearly impossible to create a hard and reliable racing surface.
The forecast calls for better weather from Thursday. The start
of the worlds has been moved to Tuesday with the women’s
super-G, while the women’s combined was rescheduled for
next Monday — which was a reserve day.

Longtime ESPN baseball correspondent Pedro Gomez
dies at 58 — Pedro Gomez, a longtime baseball correspon-
dent for ESPN who covered more than 25 World Series, has
died. He was 58. Gomez died unexpectedly at home Sunday,
his family said in a statement. No cause of death was given.
“Pedro was far more than a media personality. He was a Dad,
loving husband, loyal friend, coach and mentor,” the Gomez
family added. “He was our everything and his kids’ biggest
believer.” Gomez joined ESPN as a Phoenix-based reporter
in 2003 after being a sports columnist and national base-
ball writer at The Arizona Republic since 1997. He was best
known at the network for his coverage of Barry Bonds and
his pursuit of the home-run record during the steroid con-
troversy. He was a correspondent on ESPN’s “SportsCenter,”
“Baseball Tonight” and additional shows, including the net-
work’s “Wednesday Night Baseball” package.

MLB slightly deadening ball amid HR surge
BY JAKE SEINER
AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK — Major
League Baseball has slightly
deadened its baseballs amid a
years-long surge in home runs.
MLB anticipates the changes
will be subtle, and a memo to
teams last week cites an inde-
pendent lab that found the new
balls will fly 1 to 2 feet shorter on
balls hit over 375 feet. Five more
teams also plan to add humidors
to their stadiums, raising to 10 of
MLB’s 30 stadiums expected to
be equipped with humidity-con-
trolled storage spaces.
A person familiar with the
note spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of anonymity
Monday because the memo, sent
by MLB executive vice president
of baseball operations Morgan
Sword, was sent privately. The
Athletic first reported the con-
tents of the memo.
The makeup of official Raw-
lings baseballs used in MLB
games has come under scru-
tiny in recent years. A record
6,776 homers were hit during
the 2019 regular season, and
the rate of home runs fell only
slightly during the pandem-
ic-shortened 2020 season —
from 6.6% of plate appearances
resulting in homers in 2019 to
6.5% last year.
A four-person committee
of scientists commissioned by
MLB concluded after the 2019
season that baseballs had less
drag on average than in pre-
vious seasons, contributing to
the power surge. Their report
blamed the spike in part on in-
consistencies in seam height.
MLB’s balls are hand-sewn
by workers at Rawlings’ factory
in Costa Rica, leading to inevi-
table, minor deviations in pro-
duction that can have sizeable
repercussions.
The league mandates all
baseballs have a coefficient of
restitution (COR) — essentially,
a measure of the ball’s bounc-
iness — ranging from .530 to
.570, but in recent years the av-
erage COR had trended upward
within the specification range.
In an effort to better center
the ball, Rawlings has loosened
the tension on the first of three
wool windings within the ball.
Its research estimates the adjust-
ment will bring the COR down
.01 to .02 and will also lessen the
ball’s weight by 2.8 grams with-
out changing its size. The league
does not anticipate the change
in weight will affect pitcher ve-
locities.
The memo did not address
the drag of the baseball, which
remains a more difficult issue to
control.
The Colorado Rockies, Ar-
izona Diamondbacks, Seattle
Mariners, New York Mets and
Boston Red Sox already have
humidors. The five teams add-
ing humidors were not identi-
fied in the memo.
