In the sabermetrics post it was noted that high school baseball provides limited sample sizes. That may affect our having the ability to play the percentages against certain batters, but what about the shift against a left handed pull stick? Say you have a soft thrower on the mound and you have enough of a sample size of info. to know a player seems to be almost dead pull. Would you think about applying the shift and leaving one glove (3B) to play the left side? I have never attempted that in a game and may never, but I have been thinking outside of the box more recently.
