Cheap Jeter. Rather than sign a lefty and a righty, he gets both for the price of one.

With the new rule beginning this season though that a relief pitcher must face a minimum of three batters (or get the final out in an inning), perhaps Venditte's unique versatility could be better utilized.

Yeah, a BHP pitcher !!!

Should we called him a "switch " pitcher !?

That is exactly what he is called.

@Michael ,I said before that even a small move would make me happy, I'm even much more excited because we got two ARMS in one pitcher, right ?

Most pitchers have two arms.

Most pitchers have two arms.

so he can both at the same time ? oh My

I'm more curious to know which hand he used to sign the contract.

In his age, maybe it's not a bad idea for him to change to a RHP or LHP and not continue to be a switch pitcher, I think focused on one thing would improve his pitching performance and avoid the injuries.

I think him concentrating on one arm is a great idea. Also, if for instance he concentrates on his left handed pitching, then has an injury - like a TJS-requiring-injury - he may not even need to go on the injured list. Simply swap out his glove and get back in the game as a RHP.

I get what you're thinking but with a proper pitching motion, you still have to extend and retract your glove arm. So, no.

If he wasn't a switch pitcher, I doubt he'd still be in pro ball. It is that ability that keeps getting him chances.

That's a dumb change

I can’t believe they’re going through with that idiotic rule. So now it a reliever comes in and is completely off his game you have to let him basically ruin the game for your team before you can pull him.

Yeah it is another dumb move by Manfred's MLB.

too Bad he doesn’t have the talent to really be a good relief pitcher.

it’s all part of manfred’s idiotic pace of play initiative without actually addressing the real causes of slow pace of play. ?

Still, it would shorten the IL stay if he could switch arms.

Not by that much.

All of this to save like 1.3 minutes of time.

and i highly doubt it will save even that much time considering the likely extra amount of offense this will create over the course of a year.

Both!

I was going to say this. All these initiatives they've taken have shaved off maybe 5 minutes of a 3 hour game - you really think that's going to sway people into going now??

 

"Oh I wasn't going to go when the game was 3 hours ,but now that it's 2 hr, 55 min let's go!!" said no one ever! lol
