Left-handed specialist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The pitcher Jesse Orosco, for example, increasingly became a left-handed specialist late in his career and he pitched in Major League Baseball for 25 seasons, retiring when he was 46 years old. The effectiveness of left-handed specialists against left-handed batters is the result of a number of fairly well-defined factors. In baseball, a left-handed specialist (also called, somewhat derisively, a LOOGY or Lefty One Out Guy) is a left-handed relief pitcher who specializes in getting left-handed batters out. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Left-handed_specialist   (376 words)

Pitching The starting pitcher begins the game and he may be followed various relief pitchers, such as the long reliever, the left-handed specialist, the setup man, and/or the closer. Because pitchers and catchers must coordinate each pitch, a system of hand signals are used by the catcher to communicate choices to the pitcher, to which the pitcher either vetoes or accepts. Keeping a foot on the pitcher's rubber at the center of the pitcher's mound, which is 60 feet 6 inches from home plate, the pitcher throws the baseball to the catcher, who is positioned behind home plate and catches the ball. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/p/pi/pitching.html   (826 words)

Switch hitter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Switch hitters commonly hit from the right side of the plate against left-handed pitchers and from the left side of the plate against right handed pitchers. In baseball, a switch hitter (or switch-hitter) is a batter who is able to hit from both the right and left sides of the plate. Switch hitters are commonly taught to switch hit at a young age, as learning to hit from the other side of the plate is often very difficult to do after years of hitting from one side only. www.encyclopedia-online.info /Switch_hitter   (243 words)

Chicago White Sox News Left fielder Carlos Lee will be joining the left-handed reliever in the on-field classroom. Even after a strong 2003 campaign, battling back from a torn labrum in his left shoulder suffered in 2001 that slowed his development in 2002, Wunsch wasn't sure the White Sox would be interested in retaining him. Wunsch was waiting to see if the team's contractual offer was commensurate with his 2.75 ERA in 43 games and 17 hits allowed and 33 strikeouts in 36 innings. chicago.whitesox.mlb.com /NASApp/mlb/cws/news/cws_news.jsp?ymd=20031219&content_id=621012&vkey=news_cws&fext=.jsp&c_id=cha   (1120 words)
