Defensive alignment changes after each pitch

[dbl4868]

Why does an defensive alignment that I choose for my defense (i.e., hard shift right) go back to a default position (i.e., infield normal) after each pitch when playing pitch by itch mode? It's really annoying to have to keep changing the defense after each and every pitch.

I’ve not experienced it going to the default after every pitch, but it will change due to the situation changing. For example, if a batter attempts a bunt but fails, the defense will move out of a hard shift to protect against a bunt. It will go back to the shift when there are 2 strikes.

If you have your settings set for the AI to automatically position your defense based on the type of hitter (i.e., extreme pull hitter) then the defensive alignment does not change after each pitch. But if you change the defense from what the AI has it at, then it will change back to the default position after each pitch.
