When you say you B/T: R/S, do you mean you're ambidextrous, or did you mean S/R?

oh sorry I meant B/T: S/R

I'm in my mid-30s, so my organized baseball days are in the past Growing up I pitched and played SS, I was always the best or second best player on whatever team I was on and made every league all-star team. In high school I pitched and played 3B most of the time when I wasn't pitching, though a couple of years I also played SS and 2B at times. As a pitcher I probably started about 75% of the time and relieved 25% of the time. I had great control and offspeed stuff (for that level anyway), but only an average high school fastball (low 80s). So I wasn't much of a prospect even though I pitched a complete game 1-hitter to win the regional championship my junior year and followed it up with 5 shutout innings in the state tournament against the team that eventually won the state championship. After HS I played Division II level briefly, but tore my rotator cuff and that was that.

Since then I've played in various slow pitch softball leagues, SS/3B or LF. But I haven't played in a few years actually. I'd gotten too out of shape and it's only been in the last 6 months that I've gotten back into enough of a semblance of shape to feel like I can play. So maybe I'll get into a fall league this year.

CF, 2nd/SS. Though I'm out of college and playing Tennis instead (easier to grab a pickup game in the evenings after work).

Asthma and very bad eyes (both fixed -mostly-) kept me from performing better. A mendoza line hitter, but a great defensive player (despite being 5'8"). I had great speed (asthma didn't kick in until after sprinting around the bases or between innings XD).

I don't pitch, but I could throw a knuckler (my only breaking ball), which was fun to throw and extremely uncontrollable.

I used to play SS in High School. However, I tore my quad in football that same year so I've been out. Nowadays, I play softball in LF.

I am a contact hitting first baseman. Absolutely no power though! Weird for a 1st baseman, right?

When I still played organized ball I mainly pitched, but could play all positions but catcher. Was a good contact hitter. Now I play softball when I can, and am limited to 1B and RF. My knees are arthritic and I have a bomb for shoulder. I want to get into coaching at some point in the future when I just can't play anymore, which is coming soon.

And if I could go back and change anything, I wouldn't. I'd kill myself all over again for the game. I don't regret a thing.

I used to, but I really wasn't good. I could field great, 2nd Base or any outfield position, but I couldn't hit for my life. I did almost hit a home run once, on a check swing, so I think I had a little power, but I couldn't make contact with anything.

I can bat both ways, but it's weird with me. When I bat left handed, I get lots of weak base hits, and I hit for power batting right handed, but I can't make contact with the ball nearly as much batting right handed.

I use to till I threw my arm out witch still will act up. Never liked throwing over hand, I could throw sidearm allot better.

For fun some friends and I would play koosh baseball. We would try to find the hard wiffle ball bats, and use electrical tape and wrap the bats up to take so of the shock of hitting a koosh ball (cause they had some weight) and we would play baseball. I use to kill those balls. I hit one once and broke the metal band in it and it cause the rubber strands to fly every where.

But now I have taken up playing roller hockey which is fun. I play goalie that can take a toll on your knees though

I mostly play Catcher, but I can play anywhere the coach wants me. B/T R/R, I am trying to become a switch hitter.
Im mostly a cotact guy who will help the team out and get a high average.

Much like Wyl, my baseball days are far behind me. Nowadays, it's all about softball.

Playing baseball, I was always an infielder, primarily 2B, but I played a lot of OF in practice. Since I've been playing softball, I've went from being the shortstop on my own team to a utility player on a few other teams, mainly playing the outfield or catcher.

Back in the day I played RF/LF in Little League. I'm not that good of a player whatsoever but I had speed on my side. I sucked at batting and throwing but I could steal a base like nobody's business

I play sandlot style
Pitcher, Righty. Not sure about speed we don't have radar guns around here.
I'm a junk pitcher though. I can throw 4 seam, circle change, "mirage knuckler" (like the one in 07) and I accidentally threw a drop curve a couple of times (shouldn't though, don't wanna trash my elbow) coulda been a vertical slider as it dropped straight down....I stink as a hitter-if I were to mlbpp my stats it'd be...
