  Yes, i remember reading it once. a very long time ago but i remember that he would raise his hands in his wind up then decide on what arm he would use. i believe it was banned a year later because it through hitters off too much

  Yes. There have been a few “switch pitchers”

  Greg Harris did Sept 28, 1995. He was the last guy to do this in the MLB.

  I also remember hearing a story of a minor league pitcher who did this in a game.. against a switch hitter, and the two switched back and forth many times until the umpire had to intervene.

  read the bottom of this page for a brief mention of the story:

  There’s a kid from Creighton University named Paul Venditte who did it this past season. While you can switch during a game, I think it is illegal to switch hands during the same at-bat.

  Greg Harris – He was the only pitcher ever to do it. The glove he used in the game is in the Hall of Fame as a special exhibit.
