    For quarterback I like the ability to throw off the defense with roll-outs to the left, it is just enough different to throw the defense off. For a long time there was a misconception that receivers would have a difficult time catching the ball from a left-handed quarterback. Kenny Stabler and Steve Young blew away that thought.

    For a pitcher, it depends on what level you are working with. There are a greater number of left-handed batters in the major leagues, or even the minors, when compared to high school. Those left-handed batters feasted on right-handed pitching so more of them rose to the top. In amateur baseball, I do not think that it really matters.

    If I were looking for myself or my child, I would encourage left-handedness. Do you ever hear of a right-handed relief specialist? No, it is always the leftys that they are looking for.
