switch-hitting

Batting from either

Switch-hitting is batting from either side of the plate in baseball—right-handed against left-handed pitchers, left-handed against righties.

The practice exploits the advantage batters typically have against opposite-handed pitchers.

A switch-hitter masters both stances.

The term extends to bisexuality in slang: He's switch-hitting these days.
