just practice hitting lefty bro.
Im a righty and every time I switch hitted I struck out. So I just stuck with righty.
Just keep hitting left handed AND right handed. Don’t forget you need to work on your right hand side. Start off hitting on the tee left handed before you go to live hitting.
Hard question only b/c I haven’t played in so long . . . I taught myself at 12 yrs old, and I’m 27.
I set up a tee and swung with my right hand only, then my left hand only, then put the two together after MANY MANY reps with each hand alone. Of course I changed heights and stood at different distances to get the whole "inside corner, outside corner" experience.
Then to soft toss against a fence, same thing as above, and finally in practice and games.
But that was just my method. I never hit as well consistently LH as I did RH. Perhaps another method will help with that.
Good luck!
