With summer on it's way, outdoor sports are gearing up. It's time to start thinking about left-handed sports players. If you are a lefty like me, you'll want to get the right equipment to be able to play at your best. Sports like baseball, softball, golf and fishing make use of one hand over the other for strength, accuracy and dexterity. So you'll want equipment that supports your left hand.

In baseball and softball, batting left-handed certainly doesn't require anything different, but catching and throwing are a different matter. You want to be able to throw the ball with the strength and accuracy of your left hand and arm. You can't be hampered with a catching glove or mitt.
