I am teaching my son to swing left. I am sure you all will see his highlights on youtube in the next few years. I have no idea why more people don't teach their kid to swing from the left side. 2 feet closer to first and would face 90% more pitching from right handed pitchers.

@TheMySideproject I will be sure to teach my kid how to grip the bat left handed once he's able to walk lol

baseball swing has the same mechanics of a golf swing.

[TouchEmAllBaseball]

@golfmaniac007 Yes there are some similarities to both swings

@926giants Knock all you want. Everything is learned except speed, in this game. Does anyone naturally know how to throw a curve ball? No. Does anyone naturally know how to throw a change-up? No. You also have to teach proper mechanics. Most dads ( I am assuming you are one of these) improperly teaches kids at a young age. It is highly unfortunate because not only are they ill equipped when they get older, it also makes for a "great" time having to re-teach them for us high school coaches.

regardless of how griffey's injury's effected his stats. who thinks ken griffey jr is greatest baseball player of all time?

[926giants]

@TheMySideproject i'm knocking you on what you are talking about but just the kid pick up a ball first and just let him do what feels natural to him. don't force him to do anything when it come to baseball. if he is right handed so be it.

@TouchEmAllBaseball No doubt! The first thisng I told my wife when our biy was crawling was I will teach him to swing left. I am actually thinking of teaching him to throw left and right. HA! May be tough though.
