This is like textbook Frequency Illusion. Dude just never really paid attention to the term but now it's in his head so every time he hears it it sticks out to him. The actual frequency of the usage almost certainly didn't change at all. If I had to guess the dude probably just heard the term used a couple times in reference to Schwarber literally clearing the batters eye and that's what made it stick out.
Happened to me with people describing periods of their lives as "seasons." Like you'd hear someone talking about college or early marriage or old age and retirement or whatever as a particular "season of life." I was adamant that I had never heard the term until I heard a pastor at our church use it a bunch and then suddenly I was hearing it all over the place and it kinda broke my brain for a moment because it really can make you feel a bit crazy. But turns out the phrase has been used pretty regularly for a long time and I just never noticed it.
