Once a runner is on the base, the pitcher will have 20 seconds. For the shift, only two infielders are allowed on each side of second base while also remaining on the infield dirt.

Podcaster and MLB analyst Jared Carrabis reacted in a unique manner. Jared Carrabis@Jared_CarrabisMy first reaction to MLB banning the shift is thinking about how pissed off all the lefty pull hitters must be that they played their careers trying to get hits with two right fielders and a full right side of the infield.

Matt Zimmer is happy with the shift ban after seeing batting averages continue to fall over the years. Matt Zimmer@argusmattzFirst time I heard talk of MLB banning the shift I hated the idea. Play your nine guys wherever you want. But after years of watching line drives right into the shift and the whole league batting .240 I changed my mind. Glad they're banning it.301First time I heard talk of MLB banning the shift I hated the idea. Play your nine guys wherever you want.

The shift ban will be interesting to see take place. Asking MLB players to stand in certain spots on the field will certainly give hitters a huge advantage. Andy Savage@AndyTheSavage24@JeffPassan Ruins the game. How dare the defense stand where I hit it!!!1751@JeffPassan Ruins the game. How dare the defense stand where I hit it!!! One fan is on board with the implementation of the pitch clock, but the shift ban is not something they can agree with. Alamo_On_The_Rise @AlamoOnTheRise@JeffPassan I'm fine with a pitch clock, but, banning the shift is absolute garbage.
This isn't t-ball. These are major league hitters. If you can't make adjustments as a hitter, maybe you should find another profession.

Bacca@LeJewbacca@JeffPassan love the pitch clock but am i the only one who hates the defensive shift changes? it's a strategy, if you as a hitter can't go opposite way and are predictable in hitting patterns, why should the defensive side be punished for adjusting accordingly ?4@JeffPassan love the pitch clock but am i the only one who hates the defensive shift changes? it's a strategy, if you as a hitter can't go opposite way and are predictable in hitting patterns, why should the defensive side be punished for adjusting accordingly ? Overall, the 2023 season will bring much change to the game of baseball as two critical rules will be enforced. These changes will garner mixed reviews, but overall it is always good to see Major League Baseball continue to find ways to make the game more entertaining.

One fan loves the idea of both the pitch clock and the shift ban. The pitch clock will speed up the pace of play and the banning of the shift will bring more excitement to the game.
