My daughter is 11. Just moved up to 12u this year. She has always played for me so I'm find a new to the other side of the fence thing. Lol so she tried out for a team got an offer and we took it. Here is my question. She has batted right handed forever. Really good on base percentage and a good hitter. Not a power hitter but will get on base. She had the best batting average for our team last year. The team she is on now, the head coach says during tryout that she is a good hitter and has she ever batted left handed. I said not during a game but goofing around in practice some. He says he wants to make her a slapper from the left side.
So my question/concern is this, what would make someone who is a good hitter switch things up and try slapping? My concern is we work this winter on her slapping and then she not do well, get her confidence down and switch her back to right and it hurt her all around. Thoughts??
