WARWICK – David Ghiloni throws half his warm-up tosses left-handed as Washingtonville’s Brett Kalus gets set to lead off the game on Thursday afternoon. Ghiloni switches his six-finger glove into his left hand and throws the rest of the warm-up right-handed.

Ghiloni, who owns a six-finger glove that he can wear on either hand, feels being ambidextrous gives him an edge on his opponents, not only physically, but also mentally.
“Their jaws drop,” Ghiloni said before his New York-based Yankees took on the Rawlings Tigers Orange at Mickey Mantle Field on a warm Friday afternoon. “No one’s seen it before. It messes with everybody’s head. It’s something that most kids can’t do and it’s a good thing to have.”

What makes Ghiloni special is that he is ambidextrous. He can throw both with his right and left hand.
Ghiloni, the Yankees’ No. 2 pitcher, is naturally left-handed, but has more command pitching with his right hand because he has faced more right-handed batters, according to Cruz.
“It’s amazing he does it as effective as he does,” Cruz said. “He doesn’t walk many guys, he can battle and he can throw. He can throw three consecutive strikes at anytime. I rely on him heavily.”
