It is a rarity to see a lefthander playing second base but it has occurred several times in MLB history. Willie Keeler, a Hall of Famer nicknamed Wee Willie and normally an outfielder, played 19 games at second base over his career that spanned 1892-1910. Hal Chase, normally a first baseman, played 36 games at second base between 1905-1919. Bill Hulen, a utility player that also played shortstop,played 2 games at second base for the 1896 Philadelphia Phillies and Don Mattingly, famed Yankee first baseman, played 1 game at second base in 1983.

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.
