不对称的手功能是在专业运动表现的背景下进行检查的：职业棒球击球。对美国职业棒球大联盟所有球员从1871年到1992年的击球表现进行了一项档案研究，重点是那些用左手击球来中和比赛不对称性的人(n=1059)。其中，左撇子(n=421)比右撇子(n=638)更有可能用强力击球和三振出局。一种可能的解释是，基于手优势的概念和网球的类比，左手击球涉及左撇子的双手正手击球，而右撇子的双手反手击球涉及更弱、更可靠的双手反手。根据Y.Guiard(1987)的手间不对称分工的运动链模型，这一结果也是可以解释的，该模型详细说明了为什么左击球对左撇子来说是最佳的。
Asymmetrical hand function was examined in the context of expert sports performance: hitting in professional baseball. An archival study was conducted to examine the batting performance of all Major League Baseball players from 1871 to 1992, focusing on those who batted left (n= 1,059) to neutralize the game asymmetry. Among them, left-handers (n= 421) were more likely to hit with power and to strike out than right-handers (n= 638). One possible account, based on the idea of hand dominance and an analogy to tennis, is that batting left involves a double-handed forehand for left-handers and a weaker and more reliable double-handed backhand for right-handers. The results are also interpretable in the light of Y. Guiard's (1987) kinematic chain model of a between-hands asymmetrical division of labor, which provides a detailed account of why left batting is optimal for left-handers.
