Switch hitters have to re-learn how to hit every single spring training
I was two completely different hitters. I don't exaggerate when I say this... Every year in spring training, I had to learn how to hit again. I literally would come to spring training, the first few games, I would look like I never played baseball.
This is a personal professional experience from a veteran switch hitter; while it's his specific reality, it reflects the known mechanical challenges of the skill.
