Left Handed or Right Handed Pitcher??

Question

If you are or were a coach for a football team/baseball team. Would u rather have a left handed pitcher/quaterback or Right Handed pitcher/quaterback, and why??

Answer 1

For quarterback I like the ability to throw off the defense with roll-outs to the left, it is just enough different to throw the defense off.  For a long time there was a misconception that receivers would have a difficult time catching the ball from a left-handed quarterback.  Kenny Stabler and Steve Young blew away that thought.

For a pitcher, it depends on what level you are working with.  There are a greater number of left-handed batters in the major leagues, or even the minors, when compared to high school.  Those left-handed batters feasted on right-handed pitching so more of them rose to the top.  In amateur baseball, I do not think that it really matters.

If I were looking for myself or my child, I would encourage left-handedness.  Do you ever hear of a right-handed relief specialist?  No, it is always the leftys that they are looking for.

Answer 2

Makes no difference the ability is what counts.I would use the best player left or right in both positions.

Answer 3

Lefty pitcher...right-handed QB
