Yankees Ambidextrous Pitcher
Pat Venditte Is The Newest Yankees Sensation
Yankees Pitcher Pat Venditte Can Throw From Both Sides! WTF?!
Have you guys seen this yet?
Pat Venditte, seen above pitching for his alma mater Creighton, is now a Yankee farmhand and he is ambidextrous. Yup, dude can throw left handed, and right handed, and is quite good at it. He has a career minor league ERA of 1.53, with a .95 WHIP and it seems like we might see him in the bigs shortly.
Tuesday, Venditte saw his first spring action and allowed one earned run, walked one, and gave up two hits in 1 1/3 innings against the Braves.
“People are going to have their doubts when they hear something like this, and I’ve got to prove that I can do it,” Venditte told MLB.com.
I promise I will be there for his big league debut, and the last MLB player to do the damn was Greg Harris in 1995 for Montreal. I think me and my brother called him “The Butt Shower” because his ass was so big.
Below are a few videos of my man throwing, including an ESPN video when Joba “The Hut” Chamberlain has nothing but good things to say about the multi talented Venditte.
Watch from the 1:00 mark as major confusion happens when both hitter and pitcher are capable of going from both sides. Pretty amazing stuff.

I wish this kid all the best and hope to see him in the bigs ASAP. He could pitch for the Cubs right now.

In my opinion switching arms should be like switching pitchers. He can switch but can’t switch back. You see it in games all the time. A big hitter comes to the plate and they’ll switch pitchers just to deal with that guy and then switch pitchers again. This shouldn’t be any different.

I am not sure why the pitcher thinks he has more of a right to switch than the batter. The pitcher gets the advantage 99 percent of the time when he has the option to switch and the batter is unable to do so.

In my opinion, the batter has to be ready to receive a pitch in the box. The pitcher doesn’t have to have a glove on, so he should be able to through with what ever he wants. The batter has no choice. What about steping on the plate is that not an out?

How nobody made a comment that his dad basically warped this child’s mind by keeping him out of school (home schooling him) and making him practice constantly every day, sometimes until midnight? He even says he did this so that he can get further along than he did (the dad).
This Dad is no different than those mothers who take their daughters to those beauty pageants.
