high 70's, is this little league?

[MATTack9]

I've met that guy!!!

[lazer59882]

GREG AMSINGER!

[asianoutcast87]

Well, good thing is that if one arm blows, he's still got the other.

[shadowplayer29]

its not a secret anymore is it?

[jtsnowman66]

Most of the scouts don't see him as a prospect because of his lack of velocity from either side. He is also over 25 and has never played in the majors. I trained myself to switch hit and throw at a young age, but I always pitched right handed. I only switched to left to play outfield or first base

[asspancakes182]

@jtsnowman66 alright yes hes over 25. hes 26. nd rn hes in the yankees farm system nd puts up great numbers yr aftr yr. nd yea his velocity isnt tht great from the left side which is y he throws sidearm from tht side. he throws high 80s to low 90s from the right side with great running action on his fb nd a big curve to compliment it. hes alredy had one invite to spring training its only a matter of time before he gets anothr one.

[Coastergeekperson04]

I just watched a bunch of Jim Abbott videos and I was briefly convinced that he had no right hand.

[DoctorStrangeFate]

@Coastergeekperson04 He did NOT have a right hand.

[Bronboro]

my recommended vids knew i was ambidextrous i guess!

[Baseball43v]

this looks cool in college, but is outlawed in the MLB

[eljan81]

I've often imagined being able to do this. Though I wouldn't always "pitch" with both hands. I would rather cover another postition with the ability.

[asiandude469]

where is this dude?

[mohammadzafar]

@asiandude469 - he's in the yankees farm system. He pitched in double A last year, and was pretty decent actually..

[TopTenCrew]

too bad the majors have a rule that says you can only pitch from one side per inning.

[dannyry]

@TopTenCrew it's per batter

[moneymike204599]

awesome



[Erubus245]

Thats an awesome glove... i want one

[ladyrebelssoftball10]

I'm ambidextrous :)

[Pittsburgh727]

I wish I could do this

[Patricksk8r]

that was a awesome glove!

[ThePhilliesKickAss]

the only player to ever "switch pitch" in the mlb was greg harris

[grindyourmind1]

Can jack off endlessly...

[coltsfan916]

he is on the yankees playing in double A

[0101020203030404gmx]

wait, which has do he wank with?

[rolandroiroi]

just one question. i dont know if im left, right handed or ambidextrous. i use my right hand to write (my handwriting is a mess), to brush my teeth, to masturbate, and some stuffs. And i use my left when it comes to using power, hammering, holding a racket, punching someone in the face, swinging a bat, and the likes. So what am i lefthanded, righthanded, or ambidextrous? Thanks for reply ^_^

[jeremy123422]

@rolandroiroi you my friend is what they call "cross-dominant". That's what I am except I write leftie :D

[rolandroiroi]

@jeremy123422 wow, thank you. does it mean im ambidextrous? or what? leftie?

[drifter247dude]

@jeremy123422 SAME HERE

[Brosiferus]

someone on my old baseball team was an ambidextrous pitcher, he was a good pitcher with both arms, one of the best in the league but his hitting was superior

[jeremy5077]

This guy is amazing. So impressive.

[luridplanet]

I've been waiting my whole life to see this

[dukeyboyzstudioz]

I have heard of swith hitters never switch pitcher!

[DarthMurph21]

DAM kid



[rdubb12]

I wonder if the dad made him go both ways... sexually

[geosoxfan]

@GreatOmeglePranks search ambidextrous pitcher vs switch hitter

[nkm080]

i take it he's in the farm team

[Aflyingcholo]

so where is he now?? MLB?

[bigtmilano12]

@Aflyingcholo Yankees organization I think

[pionero30]

he's bad!

[WiLDHaNdZ]

i can be Ambidextrous.... with my dick

[champproducciones]

Im gonna see this guy playing in Mexico this year!!!!! :D with the Mexicali Eagles it would be awesome!!!

[ultmobrian]

Why isn't this kid in the majors? Pretty nasty stuff..

[superx308]

@ultmobrian he's 26 and on the Yankees' minor league AA team. He throws pretty slow so might not translate to major league stuff.

[ultmobrian]

@superx308 How slow?

[ultmobrian]

Rofl, 94 is slow?

[DucksLeafsJaysFan]

THATS AWESOME!

[jimmycrackcorn1981]

now thats talent

[aussieattack]

his dad sounds like a huge douche

[elcubanito1700]

55 dislikes are the guys who have struk out against him

[cruiseguyhawaii]

This is pretty cool. Years ago I thought it would be pretty cool if I could do this. I figured hey, I'd pretty much be a shoe-in for the majors if I could pitch from both sides. It was nothing more than a fantasy for me as I never did anything to try & develop the skills. This kid is there however and I sincerely hope he makes the majors as it sure will make watching a baseball game pretty exciting. I hope he comes to the Seattle Mariners as we need some excitement here!!

[purplekiller13]

im sad tthis guy probally wont make the pros

[Sophiebearr93]

Yankees Minor League System

[WillDavenport96]

where is he now

[livestrong91745]

Sick

[iffrett]

is that glove mlb legal?

[squishyfresh]

There's a kid at Central Christian College in Kansas that's an ambidextrous pitcher, and plays every position. Brandon McBane

[Yoda35421]

whats the latest on this guy, is he doing well in the minors?

[1993jsizzle]

@Yoda35421 he's currently with the Yankees AA team in Trenton. His numbers this season: 44 games (all in relief) 77.1 innings, 75 K's, 62 hits allowed, on 29 walks, and a 2.79 ERA. He is currently 26 years old.

[mousavsm]

@Yoda35421 He's probably a no body if we haven't heard of him by now.....pitching left handed he throws high 70's to low 80's....I'd never even consider playing baseball and I can still throw low 80's right now. He'd have to raise the speed of his left handed arm for his advantage to persist, imo

[nutsack666]

@mousavsm its hard to believe that youve never considered to play baseball and you can throw a baseball low 80s... did you play back in highschool or do you mean you wouldnt consider playing it pro? greg maddux pitched quite successfully in the low-mid 80s. tim wakefield throws knuckle balls at like 50 and is lucky to have an 80 mph fastball.

[mousavsm]

@nutsack666 I loved baseball when I was a kid and teenager....I'm 28 now so no turning back the clock but if I could, yea I'd probably have pursued it more. I'm pretty good at other sports and didn't pursue them either (professionally). I was clocked at 82mph when I was 16-17......

[nutsack666]

@mousavsm right on...thats cool

[mousavsm]

@nutsack666 And yea, Maddux was amazing and his control was pinpoint.....I hope this kid does well, I just think that a high 70 fastball won't cut it. Wakefield throws the knuckle ball, which makes his fastball seem like it's 90 mph.....If you have a curveball at 60, a fastball at 80, and an offspeed pitch (change-up) at like 70, I think that hitters got more time so they don't have to over-commit to a fastball. If he can get his fastball up to 85mph, that would be really key for him!

[nutsack666]

@mousavsm yeah. hes going to have to work on that fast ball. maybe he should have concentrated on just being a right handed pitcher, who knows. And youre right about wakefield. Who knows what will happen to this kid. Being mediocre on both arms won't cut it....but its pretty damn impressive you got to admit. Ive never seen the kid pitch so I cant speak of his abilities. Chances are he will never hit it big but you never know.

[mousavsm]

@nutsack666 Definitely impressive.....When I was like 13, I broke my left 4th finger. I was a righty hitter playing baseball but I couldn't hit that way because it was the last hand to hold the bat (after the swing). So for that month, I switched to left handed because then I could swing. Ever since then I could hit both ways (better left than right, ironically enough). My point is that if you do something like that at a young enough age, it's possible. Damn impressive nevertheless....

[thaibinhle]

Soooo if he had to do everything both ways, does that mean he takes it?

[jones9923]

im abidextrous..but i cant do this):

[Emilie4326]

@jones9923 LOL same here

[sportsrule4me]

that is pretty amazing

[jsguzman13]

thats really good piching



[DwRScope]

I wonder what the rule would be on sitting him for Little League games? Kids in those leagues can't pitch so many innings in a row to avoid premature arm injuries, but if he's got two arms to pitch with, wouldn't there be an exception there?

[rclemente21]

Aamazing, I see Venditte is in Double A. Hope he makes it up. The first guy, that I know of, that pitched both ways in the Majors was Greg Harris: baseballlibrary . com/ballplayers/player.php?nam­e=Greg_Harris_1955

[buffbeck]

I faced this guy! haha

[rclemente21]

@buffbeck Did you take him deep? = )

[buffbeck]

@rclemente21 Haha, Probly like 1 for 3 or something, I know I got on base, and couldnt steal because he would act like he was doing the windup but actually be stepping off because he would be lefting acting like a righty... does that make sense?! haha He seemed like a pretty cool guy though

[matthewbaseball5]

that is so cool. i think i am going to practice left hannded a right hannded when i pitch.he is a good pitcher 2

[Zstells]

I feel like they're saying his last name wrong..

[rclemente21]

@Zstells Yeah, it's an Italian surname so the last vowel should be a "A" sound but this is America, what do you expect for a paisan?! = )

[GreatOmeglePranks]

i wonder what happens when a switch hitter comes up to bat....

[matthewbaseball5]

@GreatOmeglePranks he noes what side he is worse at

[Madog98]

@GreatOmeglePranks The Pitcher has to show which side he will be pitching from first, then the hitter steps into the box, I read it somewhere, I might not be completely accurate though.

[rclemente21]

@Madog98 No, that is the updated rule, pitcher has to announce. Actually not fair to guys like Venditte which is much harder...saying this as a guy who switch-hit. But baseball knowing how difficult it is to hit tilts to the offensive side. I have no problem with it. = )

[BadgerHound34]

@GreatOmeglePranks Why isn't this the top comment? Haha

[blackmanwhitesuit]

@GreatOmeglePranks epic baseball

[TraeEddie]

@GreatOmeglePranks They explained that in the video. They would have scouting reports on the batter to see what was his weaker batting stance. (Lefty or Righty) Once he steps on the mound he has to throw with the hand he's holding the ball with. So the batter either bats with his worse stance or faces the Righty vs Lefty or Lefty vs Righty disadvantange.

[SouthPaw1834]

@GreatOmeglePranks here you go. lol. Pat Venditte vs. switch hitter. youtube.com/watch?v=-2oD8KzxS1­4

[WatchYoGurl]

@GreatOmeglePranks scouting reports. he says it

[lesliekwan80]

@GreatOmeglePranks You don't have to wonder if you actually watched the whole video.

[mikedoles]

@lesliekwan80 or even the first minute of it

[nutsack666]

@GreatOmeglePranks scouting reports...they find out which side is their weaker batting side, then they force him to go to it.

[chowmain24]

@GreatOmeglePranks DId you not watch the video?

[kushxhaze1]

@GreatOmeglePranks it already happened check the slip out the game had to get called because everytime he set up pitching righty the batter when lefty and so on for about 5 minutes then a new rule came out

[AgrioProductions]

@GreatOmeglePranks If you would have listened it told you lmao, dumb ass. Listen moar.

[hamlein11]

@AgrioProductions spell check MORE. lmao

[AgrioProductions]

@hamlein11 lol I don't believe I'm reading such a dumb ass comment. I did that on purpose.. fail troll moar.

[DingDongClap]

@AgrioProductions If you know how to spell, you would of gotten the word "moar" (more*) right lmao dumb ass! Learn how to spell "moar".

[dockjake]

@DingDongClap would of? would have probably...Don't be stupid.

[AgrioProductions]

@DingDongClap Uhm... It was a joke... oh wait... i forgot, how to spell more... and honestly thought it was moar. >_> lol you're a dumb ass as-well for thinking I actually forgot how to spell more. Shut the fuck up and troll "MOAR" plox. <3

[JoLondonBurg]

@AgrioProductions , Chuckle chuckle you cracked me up dood, made me lugh nicely. sorry i mean Laugh.

[Coastergeekperson04]

@JoLondonBurg I hate it when people can't use "you're" and "there" correctly. Their so stupid :P jk

[enigmaxn8er]

@Coastergeekperson04 I think those two words are the most used incorrectly on the net.....

[yopussybitch]

@GreatOmeglePranks /watch?v=yDyCRTlKllk

[MyYankees19]

@GreatOmeglePranks it did i saw it live and the batter and him got into a fight cause tehy would always switch and the umps had to say pick one side each.

[zVerrbz]

@GreatOmeglePranks r u serious they just said it the video dumb ass...... they hav scouting reports of which side the batter isnt as good at and force him 2 hit on that side

[picturedude1st]

@GreatOmeglePranks 1:10 ....

[kingdavey90]

@GreatOmeglePranks facepalm. did u even watch the video.

[jeremy5077]

@GreatOmeglePranks They say that in the video. Finish watching before you make a comment.

[kirkbrasier]

@GreatOmeglePranks 47 people didn't watch the video

[yohannbiimu]

@GreatOmeglePranks Well, that'd be a funny sight, because whenever the pitcher tries to throw lefthanded, the batter will want to bat righthanded, and visa-verse. I would imagine that the umpire would also have a problem in getting things under control. I would imagine it would be up to the coaches to figure out which side of the plate the batter is weakest, and approach him that way. Most switch hitters do not bat well from both sides of the plate.

[a1997411z]

so he can pitch about 200 balls in a game?@@

[matthewbaseball5]

@a1997411z ya

[xMVPx4]

im gonna make my son use both hands and feet and all that at a young age..i think it would make you have a huge edge over other athletes

[blupouncch]

We all pull a lefty now and again... to cut down on the calluses.

[XxBEAST21xX]

Press 1 watch catcher.

[MrBossStunna16]

Wish I was ambidextrous!

[ClusiveC]

is anyone else here naturally ambidextrous?

[ACEDIAMOND666]

i also can throw, catch, and hit both right or left handed.

i throw harder as a righty, but i am much more accurate as a lefty.

i am a natural southpaw to begin with. my dad made learn to play righty as well when i was a kid, so i have been able to do this for a long time.

[Opeyevil]

I am ambidextrous :D but not like in that aspect :) i can write with my left hand and play baseball and everything with my right arm... its kewl :)

[ClusiveC]

@Opeyevil thats lol yeah being ambidextrous is epic.

[pkl1302]

@Opeyevil same here ;) Can we call that ambidextrous?

My father tho,HE was a major poor baseball player;he was catching with his left hand,and he was also throwing with his left hand... lol

[littlenuggetful]

[DickInABox17]

"If I can masturbate using both arms, does that mean I'm ambidextrous??"

Yes! Congratulations, would you like a muffinl? Now go Pat Venditte the hell out of your cock, pervert.

[qeinar]

@DickInABox17 not really. your not really ambidexterious before you do multiple things (like throwing and drawing) i can also masturbate with both hands.

[SplashDamage180x]

@DickInABox17 Wow, the dude named DickInABox17 just called someone a pervert. Double-standard all the way across the forum, oh oh- oh-, it's so intense.

[johnnycat727]

Kevin Gross use to do this MLB. They made a rule about it.

[oneoregon]

I VE BEEN TRYING TO BECOME AMBIDEXTIOUS ANY SUGGESTIONS

[dbx2soha]

"it's God given, I've been throwing with both hands since I was 3 years old." Some people are just so fucking dumb.

[FlyingPanda1000]

@dbx2soha Hey you're fucking dumb.

[skiaddict101]

[kihhn]

[pubuman]

I can pitch at 150mph with my DICK!

[Chris234ify]

I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous -_-

[Kb11431143]

@Chris234ify but then you would be just left handed.

[Craigs948]

@Kb11431143 you are an idiot

[Kb11431143]

@Craigs948 hey, you're the one that said you'd give your right arm to be ambidextrous

[chowdogs2]

@Chris234ify but then u wud be left handed so ur saying u wanna be left handed?

[retrotw]

the good thing about this is...he can have a long career if he plays correctly...

bad thing is...he's not good enough for the major league...

[softballgrl1999]

[millerliteisgud]

damn if my dad forced me to this shit when I was a kid maybe I would have a full scholarship too because I'm already partially ambidextrous

[Xxsideshow22xX]

@beanertown1 ok cause its not like really hard to throw with your opposite hand you just look like a retard and the ball pretty much goes no where

[MrJake4488]

@Xxsideshow22xX typical boston comment.....pussy



[Xxsideshow22xX]

@MrJake4488 typical youtube douche bag comment...... fuckin troll

[GotsaSmall]

Please check out my brother's BeRecruited website. He is also an ambidextrous pitcher, and he will be a junior in high school next year. His talent is GOD-GIVEN, it was not learned. Help him get noticed. Footage of him pitching with both arms will be uploaded to the profile soon: profiles.berecruited . com/athletes/1216727

[Xxsideshow22xX]

if people can throw with both hands pretty good is there still a dominant throwing arm like a if theres a pitcher who can do this does one arm throw faster then the other

[MrJayhawk2121]

Press 1 repeatedly and look at the catcher. lol
