Trivial info on Pac 12 players

This list has 2 girls that bat right and throw left.
SEC had 1 I think .

What would be the purpose of batting right if you throw left? As opposed to being a switch hitter.

I don't think there is a purpose to it. It's just the way they were made. I know a very good travel player who is a left-handed pitcher and right-handed power hitter. She's not fast so wouldn't be a lefty slap candidate. She's better to play the hand that God dealt her, IMO. Hard enough to hit well right-handed. I wouldn't want to switch-hit if I were her.
