Weird Trivia

I stumbled across this while looking through profiles on different college websites and decided to see how many people here could get it right.

 

Question: How many ambidextrous pitchers are currently active at the college level, and who are they?

I know there's one in the Midwest, I'd like to say he pitches in Indiana. I read an article on him recently.

He pitches left handed for Indiana and and right handed for Purdue....now that's ambidextrous.

Does he use both arms simultaneously when he pitches for IUPUI?

It would be pretty cool to have a glove that you could put on either hand and not let the batter know which hand your throwing with until you step back.

Actually, I think it's a rule you have to throw with the same hand for the entire batter, just like the batter can't change batters boxes mid at-bat. Not positive though.

I remember a story about a high school kid on the news a few years back, who was an ambidextrious pitcher. He would pitch the first half of a game with one hand, and then when it got tired, switch for the second half. However, I remember them saying something about how when he got to college, he would only be able to pitch with one hand, for an entire game. But that was probably at least 3 years ago, My memory is most likely skewed.

The kid is from Omaha, NE and pitches for Creighton...Pat Venditte

Someone finally got one of them, since it has taken so long the other one (atleast that I know of) is Harvard's Matt Brunnig.
