Holy shit...
a switch pitcher?
That is a whole new level of ambidexterity.

Here is a link
I remember reading about this guy in his college days. Very cool stuff.
I remember Greg Harris (who I think pitched for the Rangers for a couple of years in the ‘80s) was ambidextrous and often talked about switch pitching, but I don’t know if he ever did. I think this guy is special because he can pitch pretty well with both arms. Its one thing to be able to write your name with both hands… but to have the freakish skill in both arms to be able to pitch competitively? Amazing.
I was right on both accounts

Apparently one game Harris did alternate arms (noted after his name)
Interesting
I think the olde time baseball rules said the pitcher had to tell the batter which hand he was pitching with.
