You are a left-handed thrower but you bat like a right-handed is that bad or unnormal and Should you train to bat left or is it too late?

There is no appropriate category for this question. If you throw left handed and bat right handed you are giving up the advantage of batting left handed against right handed pitching. Since there are more right handed pitchers and it is supposed to be an advantage to bat the opposite hand of the pitcher it would be a good idea to work on batting left handed. Don't stop batting right handed though as this is an advantage against left handed pitching. From what country are you?

What is a double switch in baseball?

A double switch in baseball is a strategic maneuver used in the National League when a manager wants to make two substitutions at once. It involves replacing two players – one pitcher and one position player – in the lineup, with the new pitcher taking over a different spot in the batting order to ensure that the pitcher's spot isn't due to come up soon. This allows the team to optimize their defensive lineup and potentially extend a relief pitcher's time in the game.
