Yes, but shifts are most effective against lefties and used much more often vs lefties for multiple reasons. Primarily because someone has to cover first base and because runners are more likely to be on first than third.
Extreme pull righties are not going to be as hurt by shifts as lefties. Go check the stats.
Last year the team that shifted the most vs lefties shifted 76.1% of the time. The team that shifted the most vs righties shifted 38.1% of the time.
