They have every right to employ their own philosophy when gearing up to hit."

Hi Teacherman,

It seems that, although many ballparks are asymmetrical some still are.

However, if the batter can develop good rotational mechanics from both sides of the plate, why not encourage the nourishment of the side that will give the hitter the greastest geometric advantage?

Your thinking here deserves an A+, as many pallparks favor left-handed pull-hitting.

Great job, Teacherman.

Sincerely,
BHL
