i am 11 and i play softball and i pitch with the opposite hand is that good r bad?

Answer 1

As an umpire, I have seen several (male and female) who throw left handed, but bat right handed only. This is probably because when very young, the throwing part kind of develops on its own. Kids 2 years old (and younger even) will throw without being taught, it is a natural motion. They will use the dominant hand. When time comes to learn to swing a bat, they see mostly right handers swinging, and are taught by right handers who can't teach the other way!

I had one girl on a team once who was a left handed first baseman, and only batted from the right side. Within a couple of weeks, she was plating on the left, and became an excellent left handed slap hitter. The power still comes from the right side for her 6 years later, but she now has a double threat!

Try and get ambidextrous at the plate, but make sure if you do you don't hurt your dominant hitting side. Swinging a bat both ways sure is a great weapon!

Answer 2

I dont understand your question. Do you mean you throw left handed or you pitch with the opposite hand that you bat? Its hard to say if that alone is good or bad. If you are a good pitcher then it doesnt matter what hand you throw with. One advantage that a lefty has is that hitters may be less familiar facing a lefty.

Answer 3

if you're talking about oppisite as in left that's actually pretty good and sometimes could benefit you. softball players are most used to right handed pitchers so when they get up to bat, it's surprising to be looking at things a different way and having the ball come from the other hand than they're used to.
so GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

well, i love to play softball, and i throw and bat right handed. but my friend pitches left hand just like u. its not that its good or bad, its just what feels right. if u like pitching left handed then keep doing it! if u want to try right handed, then try! just believe in your self! u can do it!

Answer 5

do you mean left-handed?,then I believe you will have a slight advantage because most pitchers are right-handed,so the ball will look a little different

Answer 6

i dont think it matters as long as it works for you. there are lefty pitchers who bat right handed and vice versa. as long as throwing with the opposite hand doesnt hurt you or anything it should be ok.

Answer 7

actually lefty have a bit of an advantage. the ball will look different to the batter. cat osterman who is one of the best pitchers there is, is left handed.
