Two weeks in the past, we up to date our Major League Leaderboards. We appreciated all of the suggestions and have requests. One of these requests was so as to add a approach to filter by the handedness of the participant, and we’ve executed simply that!

The filter seems to be at whether or not the batter is right-handed, left-handed or a swap hitter, and filters on that worth. It works the identical for pitchers. We also have a swap pitcher filter, though it’s useful for only one participant.
