Tigers' Tucker Barnhart has second thoughts about going back to switch-hitting

Chicago — Regret is the wrong word.

“Yeah, that’s too strong,” Tucker Barnhart said before Sunday's game against the White Sox. “But it makes you wonder.”

After hitting exclusively from the left side of the plate since 2019, Barnhart decided in spring training to go back to hitting from both sides, which he did for the first six years of his career. He did it in hopes of not losing starts or at-bats against left-handed pitching.
