struggle as much vs. LHPs. Also I think lefties tend to throw from less of an over the top motion and more 3/4s, which adds a different element and spin to the ball. RH hitters are used to pitches moving away from them and LHPs stuff comes in on them. Likewise, LH hitters are used to pitches coming in on them and LHP hitters throw breaking balls away from them, which really messes with them.
