The Pat Venditte Rule: Why Ambidextrous Pitchers Must Announce Which Hand They Will Use to Pitch In 2008 Pat Venditte pitched an ambidextrous inning for the Staten Island Yankees in a Minor League game against the Brooklyn Cyclones. The last player he faced was Ralph Henriquez, a switch-hitter. Comedy and confusion ensued when every time Venditte switched pitching hands, Henriquez moved to the opposite side of the plate. It was a standoff until the umpires ruled that the batter must commit to one side of the plate before the pitcher was made to choose his pitching arm. A very angry Henriquez was subsequently struck out. Weeks later, and because of the Venditte incident, the opposite ruling was adopted by Major League Baseball — the pitcher must commit first.
