Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to determine whether a performance difference exists between baseball players with "same" (right-right) and "crossed" (right-left) hand-ocular dominance.
DESIGN: A cohort study design was used. PARTICIPANTS: Four hundred and ten major and minor league members of the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team. INTERVENTION: Measurement of ocular dominance. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Batting average and earned run average (ERA).
RESULTS: Same/crossed dominance (with P values in parentheses) are as follows: Batting averages: major league-0.271/0.251 (0.20); minor league-0.274/0.270 (0.57); ERA: major league-3.34/3.56 (0.66); minor league-4.00/4.20 (0.54).
CONCLUSIONS: Hand-ocular dominance patterns do not have an effect on batting average or ERA.
