Think he needs to see the eye doctor - or maybe one that's not on the Bengals medical staff!

Interesting point.  I had a lot of problems losing the ball as a right handed batter....I don't really know why, although I found out later in life that I had astigmatism.....I started switch hitting in practice during my first season of Babe Ruth.  By my second year, I was a full time lefty.  I had always had problems striking out from the right side of the plate, and pulling the ball.  As a lefty, my Ks were cut by around 75%, I could spray the ball all over the field, and even found better power, especially pulling the ball down the line.  You could be on to something.
