Sporting goods companies will do the customizing. A relation was born missing 2 fingers on each hand. I don't know how the contacts originated, but he was supplied with a custom made mitt for his youth games. I'm not sure if he is still playing baseball or not (high school age).

gehringer_2 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Doug Fister claimed he could throw from the other side just as well, but he never tried in competition - at least not with the Tigers. The strength of 'handedness' does vary in the population. We all know people who are useless with their off hand, and some people who are nearly perfectly ambidextrous, but I'd guess there are not many of the latter.

chasfh Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I thought I was lucky to have seen Pat Venditte pitch, thinking I would never get to see anything like that again. I hope I get to see this kid at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger337 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Goudeau is 30 years old with a lifetime minors ERA of 5.28. That is definitely a scouting acquisition. Harris=genius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lefhanded throwing 3Bdude, capless pitcher, and odd hatted (sombrero?) shortstop kind of lends to the Globetrotters type theme well.

My brother is ambidextrous but there certain things he does better with a specific hand than others. Like he bowls left handed but throws a baseball right handed. Bats right handed but golf's left handed, writes left handed but uses utensils with his right hand. Never understood it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theroundsquare Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I read once that using your off hand like stimulates brain activity, so i started using my left hand for all kinds of things leading into a licensing exam that i could not fail. i don't know if it worked, but i still brush my teeth, use keys, and sometimes eat, left-handed. it's kind of fun. i digress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
