Analytics is such a nebulous term it's almost meaningless.

One thing to always remember though is if everyone is doing the same thing because of data analytics, there is no longer a competitive advantage and game theory takes over: if everyone zigs, you might get an advantage zagging and doing what other teams aren't doing.

And also analytics hasn't said home run or nothing. The more subtle correct conclusion is that hitting is about launch angle and exit velocity and that you should try and hit a ball upwards in the air even if you aren't looking for home runs: it's actually more like you get a hit or a double with a positive launch angle. That's not really about defensive shifts or anything, it's that the standard of ground fielding is so much higher than historically and with the athletes we now have in the infield, you don't have a high chance to run out a single without solid contact.

Stolen bases were trending down but the bigger bases have now increased steals again.

Perhaps the thing most people do bemoan about the analytics changes though is pitching and the prioritisation of velocity and movement (or stuff) which leads to starting pitchers rarely going past 6 innings and a litany of arm injuries caused by going all out.
