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.
Platoon-players, pinch-hitters and relief specialists are used to create strategic advantages
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.
Besides these three super stars and their award winning performances, 2024 was another banner year for Freddie Freeman, and breakout year for Juan Soto, and lots of other lefthanded batters and lefthanded pitchers were solid contributors. Read more about all of them here.
Still no lefthanded catchers, second-basemen, shortstops, or third-basemen at any level of professional baseball.
Why Aren't There More Lefthanders Playing 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.
The 2024 Major League Baseball Season
Congratulations to lefthanded pitchers Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers and Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves, winners of the AL Cy Young Award and the NL Cy Young Award, and to lefthanded batter Shohei Ohtani of the LA Dodgers, winner of the NL Most Valuable Player Award.
