Default Ambidextrous Pitcher

Throwing Batters Curves Before Throwing a Pitch - New York Times

Quote:
The pitch was nothing remarkable: Pat Venditte, Creighton University’s temporarily right-handed pitcher, threw a fastball past a Northern Iowa batter for a called strike three. It was his next windup that evinced this young pitcher’s uniqueness and, perhaps, professional future.

As his teammates whipped the ball around the infield, Venditte smoothly, unthinkingly, removed his custom glove from his left hand and slipped it on his right. Moments later he leaned back, threw a strike left-handed to the next batter, and finished the side in order.
Hattip to Tango

I'm generally fascinated by the unique.

Same line that Tango used there

But I don't have any memories of Harris.
