[alanmoore]

Met Adley Rutschman, the 2019 MLB #1 pick and future Baltimore Oriole, earlier tonight. Masks up. Thanks to all who sent items in to be signed. One of the other people got this sweet metal print signed.

Interesting...did not know he was a lefty.

Noticed that, too. Wonder if he was taught to throw righty to give him more position options like Wade Boggs’ dad did.

He wasn't taught to throw that way.

"Adley Rutschman is a switch-hitter who throws right-handed, writes left-handed, famously kicks a football with his left foot. And his father says he never encouraged the whole switch-hitting thing."

Thanks for the share. That is pretty cool. Don't blame my parents as I probably never would have made the pros period, but I was always better left handed in hockey and in hitting a baseball, it felt more comfortable/natural, but they made me switch to right handed because I wrote right handed. Even after separating my shoulder, my left arm/side is still stronger than my right.
