The Padres' Jurickson Profar going well from both sides of the plate and that hasn't always been the case for the veteran switch-hitter
Jurickson Profar has a new locker-mate in the Petco Park clubhouse. He won’t be at the field every day, but when he is he’ll have the chance to learn quite a bit in the shadow of the Padres’ lone switch-hitter. But not that. Profar wants no part of 6-year-old son Khairy — who has his own No. 10 locker next to dad’s — learning to hit from both sides of the plate. “It’s hard,” Profar said with a laugh. “I’m a really good hitter right-handed.
How he’s done a from both sides of the plate has varied drastically over the last nine years, with Profar’s attention to his left-handed swing taking away from what he believed he could do as a right-handed hitter. In 2021 in his first year in San Diego, for instance, he had a .698 OPS against righties and a .478 OPS against lefties in far fewer plate appearances . In the last few years, he’s moved from overloading the work on unnatural side to working equally on both.
