So, the other day, I was watching a baseball game, and I kept seeing this “RHP” abbreviation popping up on the screen. Honestly, I had no clue what it meant, so I decided to figure it out. I started looking it up.
I grabbed my phone and typed “what does RHP mean in baseball” into the search bar. The search engine spit out a bunch of results, and I started clicking through them.

Turns out, it’s a pretty simple concept. Here’s what I found:
- RHP stands for “Right-Handed Pitcher.”
- Basically, it’s a pitcher who throws the ball with their right hand.
After digging a little deeper, I learned that there are also LHPs, or “Left-Handed Pitchers.” The articles I read also talked about some sort of advantage. Maybe lefties are better than righties? I don’t know, but I will read more about it.
I kept reading, and I found out that in the professional games, there are more right-handed pitchers than left-handed ones. Interesting, huh? And some articles were saying that right-handed pitchers throw with their right hand. I was like, “No way! That’s crazy!”
So, yeah, that’s what I learned about RHP in baseball. It’s not rocket science, but it’s always fun to learn something new, right? Now I can finally watch baseball without feeling totally lost whenever that abbreviation comes up.
I plan to watch another game tonight and see if I can spot more RHPs in action. Maybe I’ll even become a baseball expert one day, who knows? This whole experience has definitely piqued my interest in the sport.
I also thought about starting a blog to share my little discoveries like this one. I could write about all sorts of things I learn, and maybe other people would find it interesting too. It could be a fun hobby.

Anyway, that’s my little adventure in learning about RHP. If you’re a baseball fan, you probably already knew all this, but if you’re like me and just starting to get into the sport, I hope this was helpful! I had fun looking this up and wanted to share it with you all.
