Funny how left handed people tend to be more ambidextrous and right handed people can border on "spare limb" with their left hands.
Us right handed folks use our left hand to catch baseballs. That takes a lot of coordination to reach in all different positions with the glove to catch baseballs. You lefties get to use the good right hand for that difficult task.
Is throwing more difficult? Requiring the “good hand”?
I like CRG’s comment about GB drivers having to shift gears with the left hand. I wonder how driving on the left side came about? It proves we’re all ambidextrous to some extent.
But the Great Britain drivers using their left hand for shifting, have to use their right hand to steer and stay on the road. Is shifting more difficult? Shifting or staying on the road steering and not running into the ditch or a telephone pole?
I'm going to argue catching is the harder, more important task. If you catch every ball hit off the bat, for an out. Then you don't have to throw at all. You could walk the ball back to the pitcher's mound after catching every ball for an out. No need to ever throw to first base for an out. Kind of like the SawStop is not needed either. If you always use straight grained wood that never pinches on the blade, and always use hold downs and miter sleds, and use power feeders, and never ever get your hands anywhere near the blade, then you don't have to worry about cutting your fingers. Simple.
Apparently the prevailing opinion does not agree here. Right handed players have always preferred to keep the dominant hand as the "open one".
"Good hand" is also subjective. They are identical, just mirror image, unlike lobsters. I wonder which they consider most important? the bigger/stronger or smaller/more nimble?
For us, they are identical mirror images, the dominant is in the mind of the person.
Ambidextrous? right-handed people? hardly. Sure, there are some, but they are far more right dominant than lefties. This is evident it the way they use the track saw as mentioned here. They just can't help themselves. Even though it is awkward, they still insist on using that right hand, even when the track makes it totally unnecessary. You don't have to see the cut-line, it's going to cut there anyway.
By that thinking, pretty much all safety equipment is not needed. You don't need a hard hat if nothing ever falls from above, or steel-toed shoes if you never drop anything, safety glasses for flying debris, etc. It's only there for that "one time"
