    Is it realistic?

    I'm 14 and i've taken an interest in switch hitting. I was just wondering if it would be unrealistic to learn to switch hit at the age I am already.

    I believe you can learn just about anything if you devote enough time and energy to it.

    If you're a capable hitter as is I don't see why not. But I never really tried it myself in my not-so-illustrious playing days in little league and high school so I couldn't tell you how much it'd effect your normal side swing if you tried it at this juncture.

    I did turn to left handed a few times in the batting cage, but after a few ridiculously horrible swings that makes a t-baller swing look like Ken Griffey Jr's I'd just go right back.

    I am incapable of swinging a bat left handed.

    You should write a book.
