Ambidextrous is an adjective that means someone is able to use both their left and right hands with equal skill. In this context, it means that Carlos could still throw accurately even after injuring his dominant hand. The word parts "ambi-" means both or both sides, and "-dextrous" is related to the word "dexter," which means right in Latin. The context clues in the sentence, such as mentioning Carlos can still throw accurately with his left hand, help convey the meaning that ambidextrous is being able to use both hands skillfully.
