I consider myself pretty analytical, but what part of the analytics tells you to put the shift on a guy like Freddie Freeman? He hits the ball to all fields, and he’s one of the best at beating the shift.
When I played ball, the analytics told you to hit where it’s pitched. Freeman is among the best at this. Take what the pitcher is giving you. I’d like to see his Chet this year and compare it to how many times he actually hit into the shift for an out vs how many times he beat the shift.
