I agree; Chris mentioned above that to bring the back foot forward puts it into play but thats a hell of a commitment if your on the chase and you can do that with saftey ,good luck to you, cause you're either real good or got lucky.

Cause when you switch theres a brief opening straight down your pipe.

Like you mention Scrap; you take the left foot back and throw the right rear straight which then becomes the front hand.

Thats a safe way to switch cause you are taking your head out of range and because you do it on their overcommited or lunging left jab your rear arm can be unseen by them.
Ive even checked a long left with my left glove at my chin on the half way point and as my left lands back attacked under their left arm into the elbow point with my right like a 45% rising uppercut then stepped right away fromtheir right hand and gone in with a double hook. Its a nasty move if they are vertical fisted, think about it, you can lock their arm.You can also widen your stance as you land and throw aright bomb over the top of it and then get out of there.
If you've switched out of trouble a few times and they then follow you wholly committed trying to get the opening you create you can knowingly land 3/4 square and turn your feet on a 45% angle so your right hip is behind your shot and it comes like a heat seeking missile interrupting their movement.Takes alot of practice, in mma you can land a flat palm into their face like a top sign or straight fingers to the throaght then strike for real as they react.
