I think it's time to discuss the shift statistically. I think the teams wouldn't do it if it won't work but how much does the shift really reduced batters OPS (or wOBA or whatever hitting stat)? Is the shift proven to work?
with a shift you basically only defend center and right (maybe a little left-center)
Are there data on the shift?
