That being said, if solely based on this video clip, neither arm's fastball is actually in the high 90s and was getting hit a lot. He would be much better serving as a team's cooler where he comes in, and able to pitch to the worse side of the batter.

But the ruling gives the last word and the advantage to the switch hitter. To be fair should be that in even innings switch hitter should have to declare first which way he will be batting (and not be able to change during the at bat ) but on odd innings the pitcher must make the first declaration of which arm he will be using to pitch to the batter for the whole at bat. This gives the Switch hitting batter the advantage most of the time (1,3,5,7,9) and the switch pitcher the advantage sometimes but a bit less (2,4,6,8). As it should be.

I hit 86mph right-handed back when I was 19, but couldn't get signed by a pro team, so I taught myself to throw left-handed too. It took about 2 years of constant practice but I finally got to the point of being consistently accurate in the low 80's. I never did make a pro roster, so I'm happy to see Venditte make the majors, and with the same velocity. And I can tell you, learning to use your opposite hand has the added benefit of making new connections in your brain between the left and right side.

When you learn from a young age to throw with both hands you don't lose out on anything else, Marik 444​​, its just a more disciplined development process. It's like multilingual people like myself. I was taught Spanish, Italian, and English and I speak all pretty fluently. It's not like my English is less efficient just cause I was busy learning the other two. When I started teaching myself left handed I remember going out at the age of 9 & playing/training with my right like everyone else..but at the end of the day I'd spend at least an extra hour just playing catch with my left with my friend to end the day. Once I learned how to throw properly by the time i was 12 it was time to learn detailed mechanics with my left...I would simply spend an extra hour or two per day practising with my friend or uncle (my trainer) than everyone else did. I never lost out on things with my right hand.

It is incredibly difficult to do unless you start doing it at five years old. Switch hitting is much easier than switch throwing. Kudos to venditte.

He got ahold Pat Venditte and his father when he was at Creighton and I met the guy when he came to Indiana for a game. I pitched to him with both arms and he signed both of my gloves. Unfortunately my dad was a dick and drove me to resent throwing with both arms. Looking back on it I wonder what had happened if I stuck with it instead of dropping the left arm altogether. I always looked to Pat for inspiration. Awesome story.
