IMO, shift restriction is the worst rule that I have ever seen by any professional sport. Outside of pitcher and catcher, there are no specific "positions". The 7 defensive players set themselves up where the ball was most likely to be hit. For a century and a half, those spots on the field remained mostly constant. Enter hitters that cannot adjust and need to hit the ball the same way every time, those spots on the field changed. Now MLB has decided that they won't make the hitters get better, rather, they will force the defense to stop playing where they hit the ball. What a dumb rule. Maybe professional football should get rid of defensive linemen because they sack the quarterback too much...Shift restrictions: The defensive team must have a minimum of four players on the infield, with at least two infielders completely on either side of second base. These restrictions are intended to increase the batting average on balls in play, and allow infielders to better showcase their athleticism with great defensive plays.
