BOOM! Feed my ego.
Is it just me, or does it seem like guys are hitting less opposite field home runs nowadays in MLB?
I don't know. I haven't seen any commentary on it.
Here's an article on the subject. But it's from 2009.

Part of it may be that two of the greatest oppo-field home run hitters of all time - Ryan Howard and Derek Jeter - recently retired.
Could be fewer steroids in the game versus 10-15 years ago. Could be more relievers throwing close to 100.
