"it is tough, because then the pitchers pitch you inside, forcing you to hit where it is pitched."

They're being paid to hit the ball. If the pitchers can hit the outside corner all the time, it's moot

they don't. These hitters punish bad pitches. That's their job. Good pitches, their job is to do something with it...aka, go the other way and poke it through the non-shift.
You show about ten opposite way singles, you'll see a lot less shift work.
The issue is these guys have years on years of practice only hitting one way, or strikeouts are okay...(see Adam Dunn).
Now that they're getting squeezed with no actual talent to be a real hitter and just a slugger, they are lost. No sympathy for guys who never bothered to actually learn to be a complete hitter.
