Do you think The San Diego Padres will win the division ?
good point actually...Do the 2007 Yankees remind fans of the Yanks of the mid and late 80's?
because if the cathcer was left handed, then the arm they throw with would have the batter in its path. So if they need to throw it down to second or third for a steal, then it might hit the batter or be not as good.because they are all right handed.........
lol..I don't think that it is a discrimination

No left handed catchers because the majority of batters are rightys and they would be in the way. That would increase the number of interferrence calls to a ridiculous level.The majority of the hitters in the majors are right handed, so more often, it would be difficult to throw guys out at second and third.
i was a lefty catcher so for me it was harder to make an accurate throw to second base and when i threw the ball it tailed and then it was harder for me to throw out a kid stealing third because the batter has every right to stand there so i would have to throw around them

In High School I played with a lefthanded catcher and he was outstanding. Some claim righthanded batters get in the lefthanded catcher's way, but the same is true for a lefthanded batter getting in the way of a righthanded catcher.

Well i am left handed. And i played collage baseball, and from little league i was taught to play 1st, 3rd, outfield, and pitch. I loved to play shortstop, but coaches believe that Lefty's should be on the corners in the in field. Also they LOVE left handed pitchers. i could only guess there are no left handed catchers in baseball, because coaches are busy making us play the position they wont us to play instead of the position we wont to play!More Questions & Answers...
