jake5270's blog post - Now there's a switch

I used to mess around with pitching with both hands as a kid. I tried switch hitting, too, but never on a team for either one in a game.

I am naturally left handed, but broke my left arm when I was 6, so I learned to play baseball left handed.

That's the reason I toyed around with the idea of trying 'lefty'.

I could actually hit the ball farther batting left handed than right handed, but would miss too many pitches, so I abandoned the idea.

I couldn't throw hard enough left handed and it hurt my shoulder after a few pitches, so I gave that up as well.

Little did I know that someone would actually make it to the Major Leagues who was actually ambidextrous.


Maybe I should have stuck with it.
