A bunt to beat the shift is a thing of beauty when done well:

Where’s today’s Nellie Fox?

Hit to all fields, bunted and struck out less than 20 times a year. Yes, less than 20 times a season for his entire career.

He would be a hall of fame manager in today’s game.

Deadening the ball a little bit would also force hitters to be more creative with using the entire field.
