The term originated because baseball fields used to be built so looking out from home plate to center field you'd be looking to the East so the sun would be behind the batter.. So when a left hander was pitching his pitching hand was facing the south so they started calling lefthanders, Southpaws.

a southpaw is a left-handed pitcher. Randy Johnson is perhaps the most famous southpaw pitcher, notably for what used to be a 100-mph fastball and 1 h**l of a wicked slider.
