A couple of artiles about Yankee draft choice Pat Venditte:
Pat Venditte: the Switch Pitcher
Throwing Batters Curves Before Throwing a Pitch
The Yanks drafted ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte in the '07 draft, but he did not sign. When Venditte was available after his senior season in round 20 (pick # 620) the Yanks picked him again.
A natural righty, Venditte began throwing lefty as well at the age of 3. From the right side, Venditte has an 88-91 mph fastball and a 12-6 curve. From the left side his fastball tops out between 78-82 and he throws a sidearm slurve.
If nothing else it will be fun to track Venditte's progress!
