Left-and-righthandness in baseball question

Post Reply New Topic

This won't be a poll, but even if you don't know baseball, I ask this Q: Which hand do you use to throw, and which side of the plate do you bat from?

Me, I bat and throw both right-handed.

I am naturally left handed; when I was growing up I had 3 older brothers who were all right handed. When they taught me to bat they taught me to bat right handed like them. So I throw left handed and bat right handed.

Right-handed all the way.

Right handed both ways.

I was a pretty good baseball player growing up and at one point I foxed with switch-hitting briefly, but it was way too awkward. I could hit balls down the tube left handed, but I couldn't fight off or spray pitches that were high or on the outside corner.

Normal/right handed, bat control and coordination was the best part of my game, so I had to stick with what worked.

Even if you don't play baseball, I'm curious to all the WPers what your dexterity in baseball is.
