Ambidextrous refers to the ability to use both hands equally well. The context clues in the sentence indicate that Carlos was able to continue throwing accurately even after spraining his right wrist, suggesting that he had the ability to use his left hand proficiently. The word parts "ambi" means both or both sides, and "dextrous" means skillful or capable. Therefore, combining both parts, we can infer that ambidextrous means being skillful or capable with both hands or sides of the body.
