YASNY Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I had two guys on my team when I was 13-14 years old, that could do that. They were both prodominantly righty, but could pitch effectively from the port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 (edited) Greg Harris did it some in the early 90s. He could switch from righty to lefty but mlb rules would not allow him to switch more than the one time during a game. http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlib...Harris_Greg.stm Edited May 10, 2006 by knightni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 (edited) Everybody seems to forget that Billy Wagner was a natural right-handed pitcher for a long time, broke his arm twice, taught himself to throw left-handed I believe (I think I do remember his story) by throwing nothing but fastballs against a barn wall, and now here he is as one of the most dominent closers in the game.

knightni Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I remember. But Wagner never pitched righty in the majors. THAT would be awesome if he could throw 98 righty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I've heard about this before. I took a games and officiating class over a year ago and if I remember right, according to Iowa baseball rules, the pitcher can switch whenever, just aslong as it's not during an at bat.

Phuck the Cubs Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 (edited) How does a switch pitcher pitch to a switch hitter!? Edited May 11, 2006 by Cuck the Fubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooftop Shots Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Anybody know if there is a major league ruling on whether a pitcher can switch pitching arms to whoever comes to bat if he has the ability to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
