Switch Pitching 101

Ambidextrous pitcher switches sides to pitch for road team "Matt Brunnig, who is ambidextrous, pitched one inning right-handed for the home team in 2003, and then changed uniforms and pitched one inning left-handed for the road team". Oldtime Baseball Game - History   St. Peter's Field, Cambridge, MA The Oldtime Baseball Game is a celebration of our national pastime, played each year at beautiful St. Peter’s Field on Sherman Street in North Cambridge. From its humble beginnings in 1994, the game has grown considerably over the years, yet has remained loyal to its mission of offering a glimpse of what it was like in the old days, when hundreds of fans would turn out to root for their “town” team in various local semipro leagues. Players from the game are chosen from colleges and universities from the Boston area, with an occasional high school player or retired big-leaguer added to the mix.

Uses 4 gloves to play several positions: Left-handed - LHP, 1B, OF  ( up to 90 mph fastball) Right-handed - 3B Max can throw well with either arm, but only pitches left-handed in games. He plays 1B and OF left-handed; and can play 3B right-handed. Max started playing baseball when he was 11 years-old and apparently played catcher, shortstop and third base right-handed. He played hockey left-handed and writes with his right hand. Although, Max is not an ambidextrous pitcher, I thought this was an interesting story of an ambidextrous baseball player who has potential at the college level.
