For LH or RH batters he would be required to pitch from the same side as the batter (e.g. considered throwing RH to a RHB), since that's what's going to happen in the vast majority of his MLB matchups. This is functionally the same as how we treat switch hitters, except they obviously are required to hit from the opposite side as the pitcher. When Venditte faces a switch hitter the simplest solution would be to require the defensive manager to pick a side from which to throw and then require the switch hitter to hit from the opposite side.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Sean<div><br><br></div><div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </blockquote> </div></div></blockquote>
