Ambidextrous Pitcher

[VitaminD]

Close, but I think the rule is you can't pitch with both arms in the same at-bat. You can switch during the inning.

DING!DING!DING! Give that man a cigar, he's right. (And a credit to South Jersey!)

Switch-pitchers can change from one batter to the next, provided both arms are suitably warmed up. And they do not get extra warm-up pitches before the inning. And if a switch-pitcher faces a switch-hitter, the pitcher must declare which hand he's throwing with first. Neither batter nor pitcher may change during the at-bat.

Also...

Greg Harris had 1 glove, made to be worn with either hand.

And 'Scrim, you'll never get me to arm wrestle lefthanded - I broke my elbow playing hockey in high school, and the nerve running behind the elbow (ulnar nerve for you anatomy buffs) slips out of its groove. When it gets rolled over (as in arm wrestling), it hurts like a mother.

Creighton is going to be in town next month to face Illinois State, so I'll be hoping this guy's due to start then.

i played on a select baseball team with a guy who pitched 65 mph with both arms (at age 10). i guarentee you that in 10 years every one of you will know his name.

What IS his name?

heh, it's pathetic, really...here I am, an ex-lineman, my right arm's to arm wrestling what the Washington Generals were to the Globetrotters...and my left's arm wrestling's version of Jake Plummer

I used to be able to toss a baseball fairly decent with both arms. Back when I was younger me and my best friend used to play long toss every day religiously for a few years. We would toss the ball around and when our throwing arms got tired we would switch gloves (Hes a righty, im a lefty) and keep throwing. We both got pretty good at it and he even played a few games at first in high school as a lefty. Neither of us could pitch worth a damn with our natural arms let alone our opposite arms though.

The same thing has happened to me, with the same sport.

I do most things right-handed, throwing the baseball, shooting in hockey, and I place kicked in HS football with my right foot. However, when I play goalie for hockey, I catch with my right and blocker with my left which is extremely rare. There is no basis for this preference, as I catch baseballs with my left. It might have come from keeping the same style curve from playing stick to goalie stick. That's as near as I've gotten to an explanation. Catching left in goal feels foreign and wrong to me. It has also made finding inexpensive second-hand gear next to impossible.
