Purely out of random curiosity, what are you more comfortable with?

Batting RH or LH? Does it depend on the pitcher's handedness?

Pitching RH or LH? Does it depend on the hitter's handedness?

For me the conventionally "better" situations feel best ie. batting LH vs. a RH pitcher or pitching LH vs a LH hitter.

But I was wondering, does anyone feel more comfortable with same-sided match-ups?

And finally does your own handedness in real life have any effect on how well you bat/pitch in the game?

Im right handed but i prefer lefty pitchers but theres so few of them that are dominant which sucks

I'm right handed... But I feel more comfortable using a Righty hitter vs a righty pitcher i dont know why.

I'm a switch hitter in real life but I'm a much better hitter left-handed.

I'm also a lot better with left-handed batters in The Show.

I've never even thought about this until now. I wonder if there is some sort of correlation or if that's just a coincidence?

Hit for more power with lefties and contact with righties and always seems like i get lit up whenever i throw lefties but with righties i throw gems.

Depends entirely upon the players. I demolish the ball with Vernon Wells, but can't hit an extra base hit with Carlos Gonzalez to save my life. But I crush it with Domonic Brown. I can light up Tim Hudson, but can't touch Lincecum.

Same with pitchers. I am consistently better with Iwakuma than I am with Felix Hernandez. I am untouchable with C.J. Wilson, but can't keep them off the board with Gio Gonzalez.

I am right handed both ways in real life and always hit right handers better. That has no bearing on my video game skill in the least.

Man I miss playing baseball...

In this game, I struggle with left on left. I'm playing the Blue Jays and I've started taking Lind and Rasmus out of the lineup entirely against left handed pitchers as they are both low .200s, about 100 points below their average against right handed pitchers. And a lot of strike outs and/or terrible swings/contact. And I'm not sure why.

Right handed batters vs right handed pitchers... there's a much smaller disparity for me. Not sure why, perhaps because that's a lot more common matchup and I'm more used to it.

Fortunately for me, there's several switch hitters on the Jays so these are the only 2 guys that I have a lot of trouble with depending on what side the pitcher throws from.

I don't remember if I had this issue in previous years of the Show, but I've really noticed it this year.

Batting left-handed. I'm a switch-hitter in real life and made my RTTS guy just like that. I feel more comfortable when he's batting lefty.

However, if it's lefty-on-lefty or righty-on-righty, I prefer batting right-handed.
