Which hand dominance, righty or lefty, is more advantageous in baseball and why?

In baseball, being right-handed is generally considered more advantageous because most baseball fields are designed for right-handed players. This means that right-handed players have a shorter distance to throw the ball to first base, giving them a slight advantage in terms of speed and accuracy. Additionally, most pitchers are right-handed, so right-handed batters have a better view of the ball coming towards them. However, left-handed players can also have advantages, such as being closer to first base when running, which can be beneficial for bunting and base stealing. Ultimately, both right-handed and left-handed players can be successful in baseball, and hand dominance is just one factor among many that contribute to a player's performance.
