Podcast Episode 6 -- Switch Pitcher Pat Vanditte

Pat Venditte is the most unique pitcher in professional baseball. He's ambidexterous. He's not a switcher hitter. He's a switch pitcher. Yes, he throws left-handed *and* right-handed, usually in the same game.

In Episode 6 of the "Life Around the Seams" podcast, we learn the story of how Pat's father had this idea of making him a switch-pitcher, when Pat realized throwing with both arms was not normal, the confusion it caused to some people, the challenge of learning to pitch with both arms, and the advantages it creates.

We also discuss how few options he had leaving high school, getting a chance to pitch at Creighton University with both arms, his hilarious professional debut that inspired a rule to be named after him, when he nearly quit baseball in the minor league, why he needed to reinvent himself after injuries, and what it was like making a Major League debut that was unlike anything we've seen in decades.
