So, if banning the shift will make life easier for LH'd batters, one might think RH'd pitchers should suffer more. for it.
The bigger bases and pick-off limits should help speedsters and heads-up base runners.
This constant tinkering with the rules bugs me, but I guess it's the way it is going to be, for a while, anyway.
We can see the Sox have already moved towards increasing base-stealers in the minors, and perhaps higher OBP players. Let's see if they move in that direction for the big club in 2023. I'm pretty sure they won't be the only team looking in those directions, this winter.
