Switch Hitter vs Switch Pitcher

[FloridaRob]

Never saw this before. A switch hitter comes up to bat in a Yankees-Mets minor league game aganist a switch arm pitcher. When the batter would take his stance, the pitcher would choose the arm he wanted to throw with. righty-rightyl or lefty-lefty. When the pitcher stood on the rubber, the batter would switch sides of the plate. This went on for a few minutes before the umpires figured out what to do.

If this pitcher is any good, he may have a chance to have a decent major league career. HIs glove is reversible so no matter what batter comes up, he can go lefty-lefty, or righty-righty.

I've never seen a switch pitcher before.

Went through all that and the batter was struck out. He shouldn't have swung at the last pitch it looked like a ball.
