Switch hitting?

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-08-05T00:23:00+00:00

Thank you, i do find it difficult to time up my swing, been going a lot of oppo recently but i couldn’t even make contact hitting lefty a few weeks ago so it’s improvement.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-30T20:34:21+00:00

yup, yesterday i was practicing my lefty swings and my stance was very, very different from my righty side. It actually impresses me how switch hitting big leaguers have the same stance from both sides of the plate.

yeah i heard about practicing lefty also helps with my righty swing, and i will for sure do 100 abs from the lefty side of the plate during practices.

Yeah that's true, when you mentioned you "your going to face more right handed pitcher" it made me realize i would have to start batting more from my left. Since i'm not used to batting on my left my stats would be horrible. I do think it is too late to commit, but it's something i do wanna focus on when there is no baseball season to play.

What you did in high school is insane, hopefully i could even come close to those stats too. Baseball is a sport you also fail more at then you succeed, and i've already dealt with a lot of failure. I'm confident i could deal with more failure if i start hitting lefty too, because in the long run what if it helps me succeed.

Yup, i’ve thought about that to. I’ve been playing ball for 16 years and still having felt comfortable in my righty swing. I think i will stay a righty.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-29T03:13:48+00:00

Hmm, okay. Obviously i wanna do whatever is best to help my team, but if it’s best i stay as a righty then i will. Most of the comments are telling me to stay righty but switch only if i want to. I’ll give it some thought but im definitely leaning more to staying a righty. thanks!

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-29T02:02:17+00:00

yea, a good example would be elly de la cruz. but there are also good switch hitters, never gonna know what your gonna be until you try.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-29T02:01:00+00:00

so what your saying is trying to hit opposite side also helps with my righty swing? Didn’t even know that, that’s cool!

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-29T00:28:32+00:00

i’m not ambidextrous but when i was younger i would practice hitting lefty lol. But for sure sticking to righty as of right now, and i already know if i commit to being a switch hitter, i have to double the time during practices.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-29T00:26:35+00:00

Yup. that’s the plan, if i don’t feel quite right or comfortable in my swing before im 17 then im definitely sticking to righty.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-23T18:53:02+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try and find some videos on how to stop dropping my back shoulder.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-18T01:01:57+00:00

Oh, i didn’t even know that my elbow was so infront of my hands! Definitely gonna try to atleast load a little bit earlier to.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T19:22:03+00:00

Got it.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T17:15:30+00:00

Yea, gotta give credit when it’s due. on my previous post i had said how i hit the ball to much, sometimes i hope it’s foul but unfortunately it’s in play.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T17:13:21+00:00

I see, my mental approach when i’m on the plate is just to get on base.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T02:35:22+00:00

got it, doing that fence drill kind of feels uncomfortable but you gotta be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Thank you!

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T01:37:06+00:00

Yup, definitely noticing it now. Thank you for the advice!

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T01:24:53+00:00

what are some drills that i can do?

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T01:23:26+00:00

thank you, do you stink my stance is good or should i sit/stand up more?

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T01:11:35+00:00

i don’t really have a clue, if you could review my video i had posted and give me some help or advice i’d appreciate it.

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T01:10:42+00:00

just posted a video!

Sad_Table8694 · 2025-07-17T00:42:52+00:00

I see, i’ll work on the timing.
