It'd be interesting if he was another case where the Braves told him to switch hit since he wasn't exactly a big profile signee from Panama. It worked for Albies, but it's not exactly working for him.

Makes me wonder if he could give up the left side altogether doing the off-season. Knowing nothing about his past I'm just speculating.
 
Inconsistent umpiring causes Dietrich to walk. He probably deserved to walk but the fifth and sixth pitches of the at bat were in exactly the same place. One was called a strike; the next one a ball.

What we don’t know is if he’s just not good batting left-handed, or he actually doesn’t see righties well, or both.
 
Reviewing Camargo's numbers, it appears he was indeed a "told to switch hit" guy or decided on his own to try, and it actually happened a couple years after he started out down there.

The most interesting thing is while he started out as a RHH, after he started switch hitting, it wasn't until 2016 where it flipped back to that side being better, and it was evident he was starting to add growing power there.

If he never tried, he may have been a late bloomer made good given progression, but I'm kinda on the side that it might be too late now.
 
Julio facing the order a 3rd time, and Snit waits until after Realmuto doubles to get some up in the pen. Inexcusable.
