Thanks for the reply. His mom is fast too, played soccer in college, and he inherited that speed. I do not plan on changing him unless he wants. For now he really only bats left handed during baseball season. occassionally between the other sports and off time from baseball I throw him a bucket of balls, or have him hit from tee right handed. Never on same day as left hitting as to not confuse him. He is only seven and were just having fun with it. But he can hit righty too, so wondering how to incorporate it.

My daughter was moved to center from short on her travel team and in 7th grade.
