I guess he was somehow a switch hitter over his career but for his single season they decided to make him STRICTLY a righty!!! Very Strange Indeed!
Everything I've looked at indicates he batter Right-handed. I guess the Switch-hitting one we have now is incorrect.
The only thing I saw in researching was an apocryphal quote supposedly by Johnny Mize, "Dihigo was the only guy I ever saw who could play all nine positions, manage, run and switch-hit." This sounds more like an ode to the greatness and versatility of Dihigo than actual data that he was a switch-hitter, though he may have tried it form time to time.
