No shift? Interesting.
I don’t like the shift, but I don’t agree with stifling the game’s natural adaptations either.
Other than the P and C, there is no other inherent positions to baseball. Teams could put all 7 fielders in the OF if they wanted to, or stack them all in the IF if they chose to. Of course that would be bad strategy so they don’t.
To stifle strategy which developed naturally and mathematically seems really regressive to the game.
Don’t like the shift, but I hate this even more
