Looking ahead to rule change impacts for 2023

Watching Syndergaard last night getting ground ball after ground ball out into the shift made me wonder how different his line may have looked without the shift.

I'm thinking that high groundball volume pitchers may see a significant negative impact on their results next year unless they adapt.

Is anyone aware of any studies on how the increasing shift frequency has impacted gb vs fb pitchers over the last several years?

Nope. But interesting question!

Then bigger bags should help the Padre running game--they've seemingly over slid most in the majors the past season or so.
