What is Lance McCullers Jr.'s throwing hand?

Lance McCullers Jr. throws right-handed. He is a right-handed starting pitcher whose primary weapon is a sharp curveball, often paired with a high-velocity four-seam or sinker-style fastball.

McCullers was born in Tampa, Florida, and attended Jesuit High School before the Houston Astros selected him in the first round of the 2012 MLB draft. Houston developed him as a starting pitcher, and he made his major-league debut in 2015. His right-handed delivery and breaking-ball-heavy repertoire became central to his identity on the mound.

The answer is not “switch” or “ambidextrous.” Those terms describe players who can bat from either side or, more rarely, throw with both arms. A pitcher’s throwing hand is separate from batting orientation, so a right-handed pitcher could still bat left-handed or switch-hit. McCullers is principally known for pitching right-handed, and his arm-side movement and curveball shape reflect that delivery.
