to be left handed? I mean in pitching wise and playing 1st base? are the advantages enough to switch over cuz I can throw with my left hand also, I only throw about 55 but i've only been throwing lefty for 2 months and only on weekends. I throw about 70 righty.

For instance you will never play 2nd, shortstop, thirdbase or catcher. I mean if you are destined to be an outfielder, pitcher or 1st basemen then its ok. As for pitching you can throw a little slower left handed than right handed and be successful for instance tom glavine, barry zito (every year but this one) and a number of others .. they throw mid to high 80s which is not heat when you compare them to the zumuya's and verlander's who can hit up to 103mph. As for first base goes you gotta have genes that will make you big or at least tall, outfield you obviously need to be somewhat fast and hit for pop if you play the corners. Hope this helps.2008 varsity stats

also my coach loves left handed throwers, cuz he is one, He threw like 90 back in the 80's but never got anywhere, he blew his arm out his junior year of college. so anyway there is a 5'5" 95 lb 8th grader who is a lefty and long tosses at most 100' he throws about 45-50 on the mound and the coach put him on varsity... he's slow and cant hit well so ya.2008 varsity stats
