I have been told at various times that is correct..... and that is incorrect.
What's an umpire to do????

I don't allow left handed batters

Of course, I always use the outside hand, hand opposite the batter, the hand same as the batter, whatever you want to call it.

One of the teams I had yesterday has taken great strides in equalizing th enumber of irght-handed and left-handed batters in their lineup. last year, they had 1 token right handed batter - now they have 2.
