What a bunch of horse crap.

"I've certainly come to the conclusion that shifting is grandly discriminatory in the game against power left-handed hitters. The reason for that is, you see that four men are at one side of the infield."

Poor baby.
Sooooo, maybe Harper should learn how to go to the opposite field?
And, doesn't the lefty already have a shorter distance to get to first base?
The great ones adapt. They shifted the hell out of Ted Williams, and he figured it out. Lou Boudreau used to pull this on him all the time. Well, with the AL pennant on the line on Friday the 13th of September, 1946, Williams hit the ball to left field to win the game 1-0 It was the only inside the park home run of the Kid's career.
Learn to adapt, Brycey, or keep hitting .220 the rest of your career.
