While i sit here recovering from surgery, i had this question.
if the batters times from home to 1B are good,
and the slap hitters stride is straight ahead toward the pitcher (which as I understand is where the stride is supposed to go)
then why would it not be just as effective to have right handed slappers??
Otherwise it's kind of like saying righties shouldn't bunt either. Watching some games yesterday, the bunts came from both sides of the plate but the slaps did not. The slaps did not look special in that those hits could've come from either righty or lefty with no difference in result.
The right -handed option appears to me to be overlooked or more likely ignored. Something that is not done just because no one does it.
