Ambidextrous Harvard pitcher

I heard last year that there were presently 8 switch pitchers in the U.S. high school systems. Don't know where to find the list, etc.and have never seen one myself. Anyone know?

soxnole, sorry i just saw this post now. yes its true about the pitcher. Matt Brunnig is his name (lovingly and appropriately "Freak" to his team mates). his dad is a chiropractor and didnt want him putting the stress of throwing on only one side of his back, so Matt learned to throw from both sides at a very young age... and he learned to throw HARD, haha. he is a natural righty throwing low 90's (he hit 91 in the 9th inning against the university of michigan). from the left side, he flicks it mid eighties, usually around 85. he's our #2 pitcher as a righty, and soon has a chance to join our rotation as a lefty as he gets used to game situations with that arm.

just another reason to come to harvard ruairi

My oldest son Mike can throw with bolth arms also. I did the same thing with him, had him throw 10 with his right 10 with his left. At a young age. He is a righty normaly, He now consentrates on throwing with his left arm. He's doing it quite
well concidering he just threw a no hitter against Missouri Baptist University. Not bad for a kid who was cut from the H.S.
team Fresh. year and Jr. year almost didn't make his Sr. year either. Ya.. right! Now he is 6'5 225lbs throwing 88-91 mph with 5 different pitches. The catcher just about has to take his shoe off to give the signals.
