Reply to "Do you like the shift?"

Boras made an issue of how the shift is hurting Harper. It’s not just the shift. Harper’s .215 is a lot of tough luck hitting. He’s in the top 7% of MLBers in hard contact. It’s an analytic that is now kept.

I’m guessing line outs and hard grounders to the second baseman twenty feet into right field stand out in Boras’ mind. But it’s not as big of a problem as all the balls he’s hit on the screws right at someone.

Harper looked like a very frustrated player against the Sox this week. But he’s grown up. He handles it better than he did at twenty.
