I posted this in the PA/OH/KY/WV forum but I wanted to get a broader response. I was wondering how many of you or your sons switch hit? I've heard soooo many times how important it is for a RH to be able to hit LH. Yet, it doesn't seem like there are many that actually do it. My son (RH) has dabbled with it and hit "successfully" in a couple blowout games but doesn't really spend any time practicing it yet. But my concern/question is if it's really worth spending cage time working on it? Should he work to be an excellent RH hitter or good/above average RH/LH hitter?
Another component may be that they don't really switch hit. They are RH and started hitting RH when younger but hit strictly LH now.
Keep in mind he's 13 so that may contribute to your answers.
