I hope the Reds are using all the advanced analytics on their decisions to shift.

Most MLB hitters should be able to get a single against a shift.  The point is to take away the power, and most MLB teams are built to hit lots of home runs and steal zero bases.  

I have no idea if these shifts are really effective at limiting runs scored, but there should be plenty of data to look at.  Lots of teams have been using lots of shifts over the past few years.
