    before quarantine i was only hitting righty, and my goal for next season is to hit from both sides, and this has been lots of fun for me

      That’s great!! It really is fun working on a new swing. Probably why I’m so obsessed with Long Drive now

    This will help my son who has been learning to switch hit. He throws R and bats L. Learning to bat from the Right side has been challenging but fun. Your video and workout will help him.

    Thanks man! This should be super helpful. My dad has always wanted me to switch hit from a young age even though I bat lefty, and I never wanted to try it. But now as I’m progressing as a player and the competition is getting harder, I see the benefits with switch hitting for me, even though I already bat lefty. I’ve been working really hard these past couple months and getting as many reps in as I can. Your guidelines and drills should really help me in progressing my right handed swing, and also continuing to hit from the left side. Thanks again!

    i’m a natural righty. i used to be very good, but the past 4 years, i’ve sucked righty. i hit the ball hard, but hit way too many ground balls, i don’t even know when my last righty double was. i’m 15 now by the way, and this fall season i am hitting lefty the whole time. no righty at all. and the teams that we play in fall ball are good. it’s not teams with terrible pitchers and hitters like everyone thinks. there’s a lot of highschool players (i’m also a highschool player) on these fall ball teams. anyways, i already have a double, a triple, and about 3 singles. i’m about 5 for 9. i also have a sac fly. i haven’t had many at bats yet, but i’m doing good. batting lefty, my launch angle is much better. that’s the reason i was doing bad righty. i was doing something that caused my launch angle to be bad (i don’t think it was rolling over). but ya cant wait to start switch hitting when high school ball starts

    I was always that fat bad player that sucked at everything and wanted to quit but I got mlb the show 16 and I became so in love with baseball and I started hitting lefty with wiffle balls and became skilled at it but my dad would approve so I just kept doing it while I became a great player from the right and now I’m 14 and now have permission to hit lefty and have started hitting at fields and have been hitting homers so now I’m going to the cage to learn to be a better lefty hitter

    Hi you probably won’t respond because it’s been 2 years. I have been playing baseball for 6 years just recently switched to softball and I was watching some videos and was questioning what side I bat on I am I right handed thrower and I stand on the right side of the plate. I was just messing around and I was hitting on my left side and I found that it was so much easier to swing and to put my foot up. Should start standing on the left side of the plate as I hit so I am basically saying should I try to become dominant on my other side and how long will it take to get used to my other side

    @Davo2233 3 года назад +1

    Do you believe as I do? I think Ozzie Albies needs to stop switch hitting . He has left handed power but he’s extremely right hand dominant . He can’t get to a high fastball and can’t lay off it. Rollovers are prevalent, he swings with way to big of an upper cut swing, strikes out too much not to mention pop ups.
    That being said, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT he is as good or better right handed hitter than Jose Altuve.
