Switch hitters need to create two separate bat entries in the Blast Baseball or Blast Softball app — one for hitting right-handed and one for hitting left-handed. Use the Nickname field to tell them apart, such as “Righty” and “Lefty.”

FAQ
Why do switch hitters need two bat entries?
Creating a separate bat profile for each side lets you track metrics accurately whether you’re hitting right-handed or left-handed, and quickly switch between them before a session.
Can I use the same bat model for both entries?
Yes — you can create two entries with the same brand and model, using unique nicknames to distinguish your right-handed and left-handed setups.
