The problem is that he was a pull hitter 75% of the time when the infield played him in normal positions. As soon as you shift, he starts hitting the other way 75% of the time. When you change his odds, he changes with you. It's constant adjustments.
The problem with the game now is that the hitters WONT go the other way when they see the shift. They believe they can still beat it with "launch angle" more often then not. It's why the game is now filled with .240 hitters who hit 20 HR.
