Reply to "switch hitting"

quote:
My point is that some players may actually be more comfortable using both sides of the plate.

Sure, I understand and I did catch that he felt more comfortable early on hitting from the right side. I was of that exact persuasion, a lefty that always felt "more natural" hitting from the right side.

It was only much later that I discovered, at the suggestion of a Coach, that I WAS better though on my natural left side.

All my life I've struggled with which hand to use and realize that has worked against me in some cases. Example, underhanded I prefer to throw right handed (bowl right handed), I threw and played baseball, football and basketball left-handed. I prefer to play ping-pong lefty but tennis from the right side and so forth..

The overall premise is this; no one is truly equal from both sides, at anything AND it takes tens of thousands of hours to develop a fine motor skill like pitching or hitting a baseball, why not spend that time on the BEST bet?
