So you have a very busy right hand. You hold the indicator with it; you remove the mask with it. Now, what do you do when you have to signal an out?

I ask this because signals are supposed to come from the right hand. It is what is expected by the coaches, players and the fans. Hopefully, when you remove your mask you tuck it under your left arm or grasp it with your left hand. That would be acceptable.

The reason for this whole thing is so that you don't bash anyone with the mask when you sell that close play at the plate. There was a time where you could never pass a NCAA evaluator's session using the right hand.

By the way, lefties do not do it backward - that is if they want to advance to higher levels. You seem to have a legitimate excuse so that should not interfere.
