It looks like he was probably ambidextrous.This is from Baseball-Almanac.com:

04-15-1946 President Harry S. Truman is the first left-handed President to throw out the first pitch.
08-17-1948 President Harry S. Truman is the first to attend a night game (in Washington).
04-18-1950 President Harry S. Truman is the first to throw out two first pitches - one left-handed and one right-handed.
07-04-1952 President Harry S. Truman is the first to attend a game on the fourth of July.
