Is MLB going to ban the shift for outfielders, too?

Major League Baseball is testing outfield positioning restrictions during the Arizona Fall League, requiring outfielders to play shallower and corner outfielders closer to the foul lines than typical. The league is experimenting with these rules to increase hits and offensive action, as teams have used advanced tracking data to position fielders with unprecedented precision. MLB has already banned extreme infield shifts and implemented other rule changes to help hitters, and this outfield experiment with 14 games represents another potential step in that direction.
