He's a Lefty Starter. No he's a Righty Starter.

No, he is ambidextrous starting pitcher at Mississippi State. Throws 99mph from the left side; 95 from the right. Has just one glove.

Good story at MLB. https://www.mlb.com/news/jurrangelo-cijntje-ambidextrous-pitcher-mississippi-state

Theoretically at least, a 400 inning pitcher would be incredibly valuable. Or, could still pitch on one side while Tommy Johning the other. Risk mitigation! I'd draft him.

Thinking about it. Other than the rest required for his body. What would stop a team from letting a guy with MLB talent in both arms occupy two spots in a 5 man rotation?

His legs?

Think of the havoc that he could wreak by switching hands between batters or even during a batter.  That would surely keep the hitters off balance.  However, it also might keep him off balance and out of control as well!

Seems like the obliques are the issue for our pitchers these days.

Forget about this dude, I want to see a pitcher who throws with both hands at the same time. Think of the force you'd get behind such a pitch.

MLB rules permit switching hands between batters. However, he must declare which hand he will use exclusively on a batter. No switching hands between that single batter.

Very interesting, I'd certainly draft him. His dad was a catcher in the Netherlands, how cool!

A batter can't switch sides either during an AB, can he?

You may be right. 

Your response is also an answer to these questions:

Craig's car wouldn't start this morning. What should he take to get to work? 

What does Craig use to humor us?
