switch hitting
Both-sided batting stance
Switch hitting is batting from either side of home plate in baseball—right-handed against left-handed pitchers and vice versa, to gain an advantage against the pitch's break.
A switch hitter masters both stances.
The term extends to bisexuality, playing both sides: I didn't know he was a switch hitter.
