Reply to "Converting to Left Handed"

If his right eye is "stronger" then he will see the ball hit the bat. It will require his personal motivation and his coaches support to provide extra BP swing [right & left].

One year in the Goodwill Series in Australia, I selected 3 Shortstops and on the 1st day place one in CF and one at 3b. The player, age 17 from North Carolina was 3.8 [home to 1st] from right side. I asked him to try left handed, he said yes he always want to. I told him to concentrate on hitting to the left side of the diamond.

He hit .356 in 12 games and returned to HS in N-Carolina.

Wake Forest offered a scholarship and I advised the Coach to continue his "switch hitting"!

The Head Coach agreed.

He played 4 successful years with the cooperation of Coach.
