Imagine my surprise when we get to my DD's first JV game last season and she is announced as the starting SS. Being a lefty catcher is one thing but starting at SS was a shock. Honestly being a lefty really didn't hurt her at short. He biggest problem was learning not to drop her leg down to block the bag. It doesn't hurt bad with gear on but spikes to a bare leg can be rough.
a few years ago UCLA had a lefty SS.
