Switch hitting


Posted by: Jane, the baseball mom () on Sun Oct 12 20:12:59 2003


Is there a good age to begin switch hitting?

My 10 year old son really wants to learn to switch hit. While at the batting cages recently with friends, they all tried it. I was surprised to see how natural a swing my son has hitting lefty. He looked pretty good and actually hit a few nice shots, while the other boys displayed awkward swings and never touched the ball.

I saw then that this may be something he can pursue, but don't know much about it.

Is 10 a good age to start or is it too young?

I recently purchased him a swingaway for the basement so he can practice his hitting all winter during those cold/snowy days.
