Berkman is actually stronger from the right side. He is a natural righthanded hitter. Notice in the HR hitting contests at the All-Star games, Berkman hits righthanded because he can hit the ball farther from the right side.


Maybe - he did hit some bombs a few years ago at the All-Star HR contest. However his HR rate from the left side since 2006 is 1 every 13 ABs, versus 1 every 26 ABs from the right side.. So he may hit the ball farther, (when he does connect), but he certainly does not connect nearly as often...
