About: Infield shift

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The infield shift in baseball is a defensive realignment from the standard positions to blanket one side of the field or another. Used primarily against left-handed batters, it is designed to protect against base hits pulled hard into the gaps between the fielders on one side. Originally called the Williams shift, it has periodically been referred to as the Boudreau shift or Ortiz shift since then. After shifts became very effective in reducing base hits by Major League Baseball (MLB) batters, MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) agreed to potentially begin restricting shifts starting in the 2023 season.

  • Le déplacement défensif est une stratégie au baseball où des joueurs en défensive sont déplacés hors de leur position habituelle de manière à contrer l'offensive du club adverse et empêcher celui-ci de réussir des coups sûrs ou marquer des points. En anglais, on parle de shift ou de defensive shift pour désigner cette permutation plus agressive de certains joueurs de champ intérieur ou de champ extérieur, ou souvent d'infield shift (pour « permutation de l'avant-champ »), bien que ce dernier terme présuppose une série de mouvements qui est limitée aux joueurs d'avant-champ.
