To be clear, I think teams should still be able to put as many infielders on one side of 2nd base as they want. This would still make it rewarding for a player hitting against the shift to go the other way.


Yes, you've made that quite clear throughout this thread. What you haven't made clear is why this shift is ok, but the 2nd baseman being in shallow right field is not ok.

You also keep saying this is a good idea because it will increase offense. Is there some type of metric out there that shows which shift has taken more runs away, 3 on one side of infield or 4th outfielder?
