The Effect of Defensive Positioning Restrictions on Baseball

Meg rally: Brent Rooker in my mind is a left handed hitter in reality. I just, I've kind of conflated him with Jack Cust. He looked at every left-handed hitter since 2020 and split their performance between left-handed pitchers and right-handed pitchers. So he found that basically the rules saved the teams from making the mistake of shifting too much on right-handed hitters. The effects largely seemed muted but you can break it down by Babbip and Babbip balls or by grounders to see how certain slices have been affected.
