Answer 3

Not really I do. I learn how to bat from the right side. I have a better power from left, and better average from the right. But I've known many left handed hitters and they throw left as well.

Answer 4

It's not rare at all. It's not particularly rare for natural lefties to bat or throw from the opposite site - mostly it comes down to how one was taught, and since most little league coaches are righties, it's quite common for a lefty to have been taught to bat right-handed.

Answer 5

I dont know how rare it is but I too throw left-handed and bat both left and right-handed.

Answer 6

My dad and brother both write left-handed (my dad bats and throws left-handed too.) My brother on the other hand bats and throws right handed, that is pretty unique. My mom was right-handed (writing), she threw right-handed, but batted left, my sister and I write, bats and throws right-handed. I have a nephew who writes and pitches left-handed, but bats right-handed. That's pretty unique too. Two nephews and a niece who writes, bats, and throws the same as my mom.

Answer 7

Not at all!! Many players throw AND bat left handed. Why do you think that is so rare??

Chow!!

Answer 8

No but it's rare if you bat righty and throw lefty.

Answer 9

I would not go so far as to call it "rare," but in a society dominated by right-handed people, it's somewhat unusual.

Answer 10

Nothing like that is "rare." You aren't the only one in the world who is a lefty and a switch-hitter.
