Yes I was quite fast BUT that wasnt the reason I was moved the the left side. I have really bad eyes and they wanted my dominate (right) eye to be on the pitcher. It allowed me to see the ball better. Yes my speed helped but I made better contact using my dominate eye.

Plus heres some food for thought, and I will prolly get killed for this, say in a year a pitcher throws 1000 pitches (this is totally low balling). How many of those pitches are thrown with a lefty in the box? Not that many. Its rare for pitchers to throw in on us.... so just by us being there we have taken away pitches. And if the pitcher did throw a curve to us they have to throw it fatter than they would to a righty otherwise they would hit us. I'm sure Right handed hitters would like to know stepping in the box that there is an 80% chance that the pitchers is gonna throw on the outside corner. And I would be willing to bet that their avgs would go up too.

I dont think everyone should be made into a slapper. Ive worked with and played with kids who run an honest 2.7 but couldnt put their pride aside and accept their new role. But if you have a kid who is too small to ever produce homerun power, is willing to work hard to learn something new and can get to 1st under 3.0 its worth giving it a shot. Id be willing to be that your team avg and runs scored will go up.

But then again I am bias.
