This might be a lot for your mind to digest late on a Friday afternoon, but just try and follow this sequence above that occurred in a Single-A game last night.
Switch pitching Pat Venditte for the Yankees Single-A club, yes, switch pitching, faced off against a switch-hitting batter. Part hilarity and part traveshamockery ensues.
The batter attempts to counter Venditte's switching of arms by switching the side of the plate. The ambidextrous pitcher has a glove specially made so that he doesn't need to do the whole Jim Abbott routine, and can adjust on the fly. Turns out, once a better enters the box and declares his at-bat, he must stay there.
Anyways, it's enjoyable to stick with this clip until the end and watch how the crazy at-bat unfolds.
Somewhere Timmy Kurkjian was squealing last night.
If it couldn't work at any level, then he never would have been drafted by a team on the HIGHEST level. In case you haven't noticed the Yankees have a pretty good player development staff, and I doubt they would waste time on some kid that could never make it. I'm shocked you don't know about this kid. When he got drafter 3 or 4 years ago it was all over ESPN. Then again it could have just been on the news here in NY.
It will certainly be interesting to watch, that's for sure. Especially if he does make the Bigs.
I'm sure in 1988 people were laughing at the Angels for drafting a pitcher with only one anatomically complete arm. And the Yankees were laughing at those naysayers on 9/4/1993. Hard.
I wasn't making it as such. I was simply stating that people had the same sentiment towards him as you have towards Pat Venditte. There is a comparison, as it's a similar situation.
Dude I just made a simple statement. It ended there. You're the one who went into a scientific expedition for no apparent reason.
You can do alot of things to me, say alot of things about me, but don't sit there and tell blatant lies about me. I have NEVER said that I want Obama dead, and I would appreciate a retraction of that horribly incorrect statement.
