That’s just bad baseball by the defense right there. You don’t shift because of one hit, you shift based on batter tendencies. Haruichi’s a righty who hits to all fields, so there’s no reason to shift against him like he’s a lefty pull-hitter.

I agree, but let's not forget that this isn't some powerhouse school they're fighting now. They probably haven't done their research and are just making assumptions about his skillset and plans because he's small.

Hitters with high OBP and slugging in the 2 hole, first person I think of: Mike Trout
