Back to the original topic… the shift rule appears to have wound back about half of the loss of BABIP compared to 2017, although early outcomes indicated that maybe it’d all get rolled back. Still, we’re talking about .295 as opposed to the high of .300, so this is not really a huge difference.
The bigger bases but I suspect especially the 3 moves to first rule has caused a 33% increase in steals with caught stealings remaining static, although at that I suspect there are more “classic” 2-6 or 2-4 CSes while the 1-3-6 pickoff is all but nonexistent.
