Reply to "Lefty or Righty on 1B? Preference?"

I have only heard of one case where handedness played a role - and it was because one first baseman swung it from the left side and the other from the right. The one that swung it lefty got the scholarship offer, even though they were basically identical players. This program at the time was basically hitting 9 righties, so I can see why they targeted a left handed first baseman. Not sure if that is a cornerstone to their recruiting of the position, or just a way to fill 2 needs with 1 guy.
