i have hit right handed my whole life ,but last summer i tried hitting left handed. Hitting left handed feels much more comfortable. I have raw batspeed left handed ,and just need to build a knowledge of my swing. Being a Jr. in high school would u make the change from right to left because my natural left handed swing is great. Last year right handed i hit .400 6hrs 40R 35RBI and had 20K's. i don't want to hit switch because i believe hitting from the weaker side of the plate is a wasted at bat.

Hit LH as long as it doesn't affect your avg. I switch hit myself. I was a natural RH, but trained as LH as I discovered I am more consistent LH. I place the ball better LH and hit more XBH. However, if we ever need the HR (rare instances), then I bat RH since that's where I have more power.
I always bat for average and ONB%, so that's why I bat LH most of the time. Hope this helps.
