Hitting was already hard enough, but throw in the shifts and increased bullpen usage (and specialization) and its gotten ridiculous. Going for power ("Launch Angle Swings") is a rational response to the way the game is played, as it has become too hard to string together a few hits in order to score. MLB should limit the shift and somehow limit either pitching changes or roster moves so that hitters are sometimes batting against pitchers who are not at their best. Then we'll see more balls in play, fewer Ks and more action.
