Hitting a baseball is a very difficult task. Switch hitting is an even harder task to accomplish. Two different swings to tune up, change, and try to grow. When done well it eliminates some of the difficulties that come when facing same handed pitchers. Orioles’ outfielder Cedric Mullins was a switch hitter, but ditched that prior to the 2021 season to become a lefty only swinger. His dominant hand. It resulted in Mullins becoming an All-Star and Silver Slugger.
That opens up a thought experiment; are there any Detroit Tigers, specifically prospects that could benefit from a similar decision?
