Joe Abraham just opened for lessons.
I would recommend getting in with him. I would recommend shooting him a message or find him on social media.

I have an 08 player who’s played softball for nearly nine years. She bats right and really wants to learn how to bat left and be a switch hitter/slapper. She’s gotten into a bit of a slump so I want to get her back on track with righty hitting, but when she’s consistent enough again I will feel free to spend the money and let her to learn lefty hitting. Any coaches by Columbus Ohio for this?

honestly, i would say that it is almost too late to switch over. my Dd switched at 11 years old and that was pushing it in my opinion. once she goes lefty, you cannot keep going back and forth to righty if she is struggling. do it all or do nothing. JMHO -

As DanMaz stated there is no value in being a "switch hitter" but there is always value in speed on the left side of the plate or, power from either side of the plate.

If your DD has above average speed it makes sense to stay on or, go too the left side and drill drill drill to improve. If she is of average speed and more comfortable on the right side stay there.

Over the years I have taken many ladies 14 and above and worked them to the left side so they were more serviceable to our team at the HS level and several ended up with additional opportunities beyond HS.

Moving to the left side depends on the player though and, their dedication and support from parents to making the switch.
I had some ladies that were .200 or lower hitters with a lot of Ks that could have been more valuable on the left side choose to stay on the right side and get spot playing time in HS because they did not want to put in the time to get better.
I had another lady though that was a junior when I took over as coach and embraced the switch and lead the team in OB%, second in BA%, lead team in SB. She ended up a Skyline player of the month and NFCA HS honorable mention so if the player has the tools and dedication they can make a switch when they hit HS.

Once my daughter switched to the left side she never went back. She worked from 9yrs old till she was 11yrs old before she went live in games from the left side. Since 11yrs old she’s never went back to the right side.

another great Slapper coach is Mark Redfern.
