Matthew Berish was a right-handed pitcher in high school. He had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder and recovered in time to play his senior year, but saw limited action on the mound (3 IP, 11.67 ERA). He played 1B, C, and RHP as a senior for the Berlin Mountaineers.
Berish states that he "began messing around with left-handed throwing during Basic Training" in 2011. He was able to throw up to 65 mph as a lefty and in the low 80s right-handed. Essentially, he became an ambidextrous thrower, since effective switch pitchers have only a 3 to 5 mph difference in velocity between the two arms.
