MLB had to implement new rule for this kid. Last year there was a hilarious video of a switch hitter and him switching until the umpires intervened. Possibilities are interesting. Obviously a nice bullpen addition. Pitch counts? Who cares switch arms…Hey he could be your number 1 and number 2 starter… Yardbird would love this guy..he could teach him Marshall mechanics on one side and real pitching mechanics on the other and compare notes....

I actually just happened to go to a charleston vs. savannah minor league game last year and got a chance to see this guy pitch. I didnt even notice it at first but it was amazing how he was so consistent with each arm. If I am remembering right he was hitting upper 80's low 90's with each arm when I saw him.

FYI, NFHS already had a rule regarding ambidextrous pitchers. MLB's new rule allows pitchers and batters to change sides once per pitch. The NFHS rule allows the pitcher to switch only in between batters.
