    switch pitcher's special glove

    Here's a story about a Yankees pitcher who throws lefty and righty and uses a six fingered glove with two webs. Nice piece for your collection

    What is the official rule on this. I don't think you can change arms in the middle of an at bat.

    Found them:

    a) The pitcher must indicate which hand he intended to use.
    b) The pitcher may change arms on the next hitter but must indicate the arm to be used.
    c) There will be no warmup pitches between the change of arms.
    d) If an arm is injured, the pitcher may change arms and the umpire must be notified of the injury. The injured arm can not be used again in that game.

    I throw right handed but i have tried this before and im not very good, but i like it cause im a better fielder with my other hand, It would be cool to see this kid pitch in the majors.

    Some guys on Baseball Fever did a dual-armed throwing thread:

    Here's a pretty good clip. Switch pitcher versus switch hitter.

    Didn't Antonio Alfonseca have a six-fingered glove? Different reason, but still...
