I have the 1st pick in the draft.HURRY?
1. There are less lefty pitchers around -- this means its not often you see them to hit off of.2. Most BP is thrown by righties, only when a lefty is starting is BP thrown by a lefty.
3. It is harder to read the ball coming from a lefty because their release is "unusual" to the eye. 75% of the time you see right handed pitching, throw in a lefty and many people will struggle, right handers included.

The left-handed pitcher pictches to the batter's right side. eMainly because any breaking balls come from inside to over the plate on the hitter, making it harder to hit. It is the same for right-handed hitters vs. right-handed pitchers. There's also the fact that the ball is being released at such a point that it is more over the hitter's shoulder, making it that much more difficult to pick up the ball's rotation.

Most pitchers (and hitters) are right handed, so its not often that one sees a lefty vs. lefty situation. Left handed batters are often replaced by a right handed hitter, especially in the late innings of play. This happens throughout a player's minor and major league career: therefore the left handed hitters see even less action vs. a left handed pitcher, unless they've established themselves as a quality hitter.Who do you think will win the AL central?

There is also the argument that lefties hit so poorly against lefties and righties against righties in comparison to reversing the two because you see the ball later then if you were facing a pitcher with the opposing hand.More Questions & Answers...
