Why are lefty pitchers considered to be better than right-handed pitchers in baseball?

This difference in angle can give lefties an advantage and make them more challenging for batters to face.

Additionally, left-handed pitchers are often seen as more valuable in certain situations, such as facing left-handed batters or holding runners on base.

Wakefield spent the entire 1994 season pitching for the Buffalo Bisons of the American Association where he went 5-15 with a 5.84 ERA and walked 15 more batters than he struckout. After an excellent rookie season for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1992, he developed control problems and, in the 1993 season, went 6-11 with a 5.61 ERA and walked 16 more batters than he struckout.

How many hours is a Twins game?
A Twins game is no different than any other baseball game. Since pitchers pitch at different speeds and some are better than others, games can range anywhere from 2 hours to 5 hours. If the game is a pitchers duel (i.e. the pitchers are pitching really well and there are not many hits in the game) look for the game to end closer to 2 hours. Should the game be more of an offensive powerhouse, then look for the game to go around 4-5 hours. An average game is around 3 hours.

Regardless of popularity (demand) the number of signatures available in the market will be the bottom line on value. Hitters have always been more popular than pitchers and have a higher fan base. This might be the reason why Hitters hold the bulk of the value in autograph prices.
