LEFTHANDED BASEBALL

The Best Lefthanded Batters and Lefthanded Pitchers in Baseball

Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Reggie Jackson, Tony Gwynn, Barry Bonds, and Ken Griffey Jr. are among the best ever.

Still no lefthanded catchers, second-basemen, shortstops, or third-basemen at any level of professional baseball.

Lefthanded Batters and Lefthanded Pitchers continue to play a prominent role in baseball,

but ongoing bias still prevents lefthanded children from playing all the fielding positions

and limits the opportunities for them to learn, to participate, and to enjoy playing baseball.

Platoon-players, pinch-hitters and relief specialists are used to create strategic advantages

Switch-Hitters Switch-Pitchers

Lefty Grove, Carl Hubbell, Warren Spahn, Whitey Ford, Sandy Koufax, Steve Carlton, Tom Glavine, and Randy Johnson are among the best ever.

Lefthanded throwers have proven to be excellent defenders, as pitchers, first-basemen, or outfielders.

An exciting 162 game action packed regular season has ended,
and lefthanded batters and lefthanded pitchers have been leading the way.

One veteran lefthanded batter
and one veteran lefthanded pitcher
are standing far above the rest
