February 27, 201511 yr I get the CF to a corner difference, but I guess I've always considered LF and RF to be pretty equivalent. Is that incorrect?I don't believe they are, some do. I think RF is harder which is why you usually see older CFs who were quality defenders but who have lost a step move to RF instead of LF. The flights of the ball are, for a good deal of batted balls, completely different. Most batters are right handed so when they hit to LF the fielder isn't dealing with a ball slicing away as happens a right handed batter hits it to RF. It's a truer flight in LF when a righty hits it there. So, there are more difficult plays normally in RF. Edited February 27, 201511 yr by jimmer
