I also grew up in South LA. I’ve played and coached all over the state. I have also played in different states. I’ve read books, attended camps, watched videos and thousands of games at every level.
Not once before this year have I heard the term backside used in reference to going opposite field.

Interesting. I’m 41 and also played and coached all over. Maybe we’ve played against each other lol. I always make my players go backside for their first round of bp. Their 2 strike approach is to look to drive a fastball backside and adjust to the offspeed. I’m pretty dumb about a lot of things but baseball isn’t one of them. I never paid attention to who’s used the term or not and I’m assuming I picked it up somewhere over my career. Didn’t know it was controversial lol.
