I second this thought. It may not be the best for every player, but for some, it offers a competitive advantage. My son switch hit a little in early high school "travel" ball, and then went back to it after an eye injury after his first year of college. Frankly, it was a bad enough injury that he probably wouldn't be still playing if he didn't.
I will say this, though; no one should consider it unless they are highly motivated to double the amount of BP they take. People like to talk about Texiera's "talent" (which he obviously has) but that guy is a workhorse in the cage...
