The data seems to back up Carlos Correa's assertion that José Altuve did not benefit from the Astros' sign stealing system, writes @No_Little_Plans . The data also implies, though, the Red Sox benefitted from their own system.

The Commissioner's Report on the Astros' Sign Stealing Scandal made two important contentions: the Astros cheated in 2017-18 (not '19), and did not hugely benefit from their scheme. Alexandre Olbrecht and Jeremy Rosen use the data to examine both claims.
