    I saw that. Very interesting. They used to say start your kid as a lefty at an early age. Might have to rethink that and raise them ambidextrous now

    There was a kick arse article on ESPN written for him a little while back.

    In case some of the ccom humans aren't baseball fans, a dude like this is rarer than hen's teeth:

    I saw that, but didn't see him pitch.  Does he were a glove that can be used on either hand?  That could get cumbersome changing gloves between batters.  Pretty cool though.

    He has a special glove that can be switched between hands.

    The thing is, it just that he can pitch from both sides, it's that he is pretty good from both sides.
