All are left-handed shooters. Dement's secret plan to confuse defenses?

That might be more of a benefit than you think. Since most players are right-handed shooters, players tend to defend assuming an opponent is a righty. It can be overcome, of course, but not without some adjustment. I doubt these players were recruited just because they're lefties, like pitchers are sometimes recruited/signed because they're southpaws, but it can't hurt.
