Reply to "switch hitting"

I never had the desire to convert my lefthanded son to also batting righthanded, but I was tempted and we did try for a little while to convert my righthanded hitting son to a switch hitter. I agree though with ClevelandDad, that it often actually hurts hitters especially if their left/right splits are consistantly large. Everyone wants their kid to be Pete Rose, Mickey Mantle, Chipper Jones, or one of the great switch hitters, but what you often get is U. L. Washington who actually was killing his overall average and usefulness by thinking he could hit from both sides when really he was a Major League hitter only from one side.
