Baseball just outlawed the shift, and people opposed to that will always lament “why can’t they hit it where the shift isn’t?”
Obviously, even for professional hitters, this is hard. Why is that? Does it have to do with the pitch type and pitch location? If not that, is it something else other than batter handedness and tendencies?

I can’t stand this new rule. It’s terrible for the game.
want to beat the shift? Learn to bunt. You don’t even have to change your natural tendencies to do that. But if you bunt again and again, then teams will stop shifting. At that point you start swinging away again.
this new rule really dumbs the game down. It caters to lesser players, and reduces strategic choices.
