Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm 14 years old now and have been playing baseball for a long time. I've always been a right-handed batter. Is it too late to consider switch-hitting?

    If you really want to, it's not too late. While many switch hitters start young, there are some who start much later than you. Ray Durham didn't switch hit until the pros. (But it was very hard for him to learn)

    Like many things in life, if you're willing to put in enough work, you will be able to do it.

    Tim Kurkjian did an interesting article on switch hitters if you're interested: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=kurkjian_tim&id=2475203
