The shift in MLB

Excuse my ignorance, but I remember everyone talking about the shift being banned this season in MLB during the CBA talks. I’m watching highlights and teams are still shifting. Is there an exception to the rule or something?

2023. This year is the DH in both leagues.

Why ban the shift? Here's a wild thought; how about hitters learn to handle the bat?

It seems artificial to dictate where the defense can position their players.

The shift was a big reason why the Braves defense suddenly improved during the August turnaround.

Wait, they really banned the shift in MLB games? Jesus, that’s pitiful

The shift was borne of Satan himself

Not a fan of banning the shift.
Only benefits teams unwilling to adapt.
From the All Star Break through the end of the regular season last year the 5 teams who shifted the most were Braves, Dodgers, Rays, Red Sox and Astros. The 4 teams in the LCS and the team with the best record in baseball.

Fair point.
But it's also bit us in the arse our fair share of times, also.

I didn't know that.
Ok. Maybe the shift ain't so bad.

A player hits the ball to the left side nearly every at bat but dudes flip out at the thought of the defense adjusting for this.
It's no different than playing deeper for a power hitter. Guarding the lines, playing shallow, double play depth, bringing the entire infield in.

It’s not fair.
These guys are only getting paid multiple millions of dollars. It is ridiculous to ask them to do such a tall task like hit it where the defense has left a gaping hole.

Another reason to stop watching MLB. The fact the players wanted this banned vs just bunt down the line is amazing to me

MLB players can’t hit oppo or bunt for a base hit when teams put on the shift…it’s unfair
