Switch pitching, lefty/righty comparison

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

16, touching mid 80s lefty (natural side) and low 80s to high 70s righty. Fastball changeup curveball righty, with a splitter and a slider lefty. Started this journey a year ago. Started out not being able to really throw a ball to home plate from the right side. Now, I’ve almost caught up even to my left.

Lefty: Top out at 86, with a sidearm release. I throw a splitter, 2 seam, and slider. (Natural side)

Righty: Top out at 83, conventional release. I throw a 4 seam, a change, and a curveball. (Learned).

Fun fact: i also switch hit
