A right handed batter takes his first pitch for a ball He then switches and becomes a left handed batter for the next pitch a strike He then changes back to a right handed batter Is this legal?
Yes, it's legal in Major League Baseball provided the pitcher isn't in the middle of a pitch otherwise it's illegal.
How do you play a standard forward defensive shot?
If you are right handed you put your left leg out and the bat next to it but make sure the bat is tilted down else you could get caught out! If you are left handed just do the same but with your right leg out.
Can a right-handed batter switch to left-handed during an at bat?
In a word, yes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only stipulation in the MLB Rulebook is that the batter must declare what side of the plate he will bat from before the pitcher takes his stance on the mound. If, after a pitch, a batter wants to walk across the plate and take the next pitch from the other side, he may do so.
When throwing down to third if it is a wild pitch to the catcher right how do you field it?
Well, if its a 'wild pitch' by definition the pitcher has thrown a pitch which in the scorer's judgment could NOT be fielded by the catcher. Nevertheless, when a catcher is trying to field a pitch he will always try to keep the ball in front of him to make it hit his chest protector. If its to his right, the next question is where the batter is standing. If its a right handed hitter, the catcher will just throw, but if its a left handed hitter, theoretically the catcher may not have a clear throwing line to third and will most likely step forward to make the throw.
Who was the first left-handed president?
James Garfield was the first US president known to be left-handed. There were probably others who were born left-handed but were forced to convert by their parents or teachers. I say this because Garfield was the 20th president. After him, 7 out of the next 23 were lefties.
Left handed but raised right handed?
THIS IS NOT ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, BUT BOTH A PERSONAL VIEW AND HOPEFULLY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DISCUSSION OF THE SUBJECT. The common opinion states a left handed person is more creative, smarter and possibly better drivers (just read that on online...who knows). But what if you were meant to be left handed and were persuaded as a child to write with the right hand. This was common in 19th and early 20th century when being left handed was seen as deficient and possibly evil. Superstition while much more prevalent during the early centuries, it still remains. We no longer discourage children from being left handed, but do find it a curiosity I find this subject interesting because if you have dominant left handed tendencies, but they were suppressed, will this suppress your potentially superior creative tendencies I myself am right handed and yet do a number of things left handed. Some people simply dismiss this as ambidextrous. Yet this raises another question....if you are ambidextrous do you have the creativity of a left handed person and the logic of a right handed person. When playing baseball I bat left handed and yet throw right handed. If I bat left handed, then why don't I golf left handed. These tendencies were not forced on me, but simply what I found comfortable when learning these games. My brothers when teaching me to bat naturally set me as a right handed batter, but my hands were switched. While they tried to correct my hand positions I kept moving my hands in to left handed position. They suggested trying batting left handed and it felt so natural and of course I was much better. Golfing I am better right handed, but can golf left handed. I think of myself as a very creative person and yet I am a Civil Engineer...a very logical number crunching field. I find myself not a typical engineer, very social and with many creative interests. I am now middle aged and as an exercise have been teaching myself to write left handed and have found it to be easier than I thought. I don't believe I was encouraged to be a right handed person, but I was a follower as a child. I remember kids who were left handed were something of a curiosity not the attention I wanted. This is not to say I truly was a purely left handed person, but I wonder if I had began my life as a left hander I wonder what effect this may have had on me. This now takes us to the ultimate question of the effect of stimulating the side of the brain which controls left or right handed tendencies. If you are raised as a right handed person, but were meant to be left handed will this diminish your potential creativity. It seems logical (say my right brain) that diminished stimulation of the right brain could lead to diminished right brain potential development. Now the next question is can you learn to be the left handed person you were meant to be and will this stimulate the right brain. Again this seems logical, but will you reach the potential as if raised as a left handed person from childhood. This also seems logical that you would probably not, but will find an increase in stimulation and creativity nonetheless. We know the brain when stimulated with new interests will grow so to speak. When stimulated new neuron connections will be established essentially increasing what is now referred to as "Brain Age". The old adage "Use it or lose it". I think it may be evident that I have not answered the original questioned, but have raised more questions. Perhaps this is the result of both my right and left brain working together. This question unless researched leads to the development of hypotheses which will inevitably lead to many more questions....but isn't this the first step toward research. I will leave you with this thought, find activities which use both sides of your brain as you will find yourself possibly and most likely a more well rounded person. Let's strive to use as much of our brain as possible and I like to think that the right side needs the left side to stay sane?
How do you adjust the low beam headlights on a 2000 Hyundai tiburon?
There is a screw (phillips) located next to the lo-beam housing, to the left or the right depending on which side you're going to adjust. Turn to the left and the beam will pitch upwards and to the right it will pitch downwards. Have fun ;D.
How do you easily load a pistol magazine?
Holt the magazine in your left hand, (if you are right handed). Push the back of the round into the magazine with your right hand by sliding it in and under the magazine lips. Use the thumb of your left hand to push the round down as you push in with your right hand. Then when you start the next round, push down with your left thumb as you push in with your right hand. Repeat until full!
Explain clearly why a boy driving a car with his girl friend seated next to him obtains more enjoyment from sharp right-hand turns than from turns to the left?
This is because a right handed turn causes his girlfriend to move towards him (the driver) due to centrifugal acceleration. Left handed turns will push her closer to her door, or away from her boyfriend. Depending on the distance that separates the boy and his girlfriend depends on his enjoyment factor. Therefore, since right handed turns make his girlfriend closer to him, he enjoys them more.
If a switch hitter bats as a lefty the first pitch can he bat right the next pitch?
no
Are polar bears left handed?
Polar bears are not left handed. The myth is as following: Did you now that ALL polar bears are left handed. When stalking prey on the ice, a polar bear draws his right paw across his black nose, hiding his primary dark body part, the better to successfully sneak up on his next meal. (Some polar bears also squeeze their eyes almost closed, for even more complete camouflage.) Then, the bear batters his lunch to death with his stronger, dominant, left paw. But this is a myth. See the link for further information.
Why is my left eye larger than my right eye?
If it is only slightly bigger then I would think your baby is going to be left handed. The bigger left ear and bigger left eye has really nothing to do with being left or right handed. Our heart pumps on the left hand side. So the blood comes easier to your left body parts. Usually your left testicle hangs more down because it's slightly bigger and the left breast is usually bigger. Ask the doctor at the next check up.
