My 17yo player woke-up one morning and decided he wanted to learn to switch hit. He looked akward at first but now, after a month, is beginning to look more natural. He has been hitting off the tee (50-100 times) daily and taking a couple of rounds of BP from time to time. His approach at the plate (in the cage) looks sound and he just about mirrors his right handed swing. The ball "seems" to be jumping off the bat more too. My questions are: What, if anything, else can he do to be successful from the left? What game situations dictate him hitting lefty, i.e. L/Rhp or men on base.....?
Thanks
