Is there any rule that prevents an ambidextrous pitcher from throwing with either hand to the same batter? |
Answer
No.
More info on the rule
Harris, (pitched with both hands as an Expo in 1995) was with six clubs over a 15-year career. When he was with Boston, word of his odd talent got out and Bobby Brown, the American League president, gave umpires these rules: The pitcher must indicate which hand he intended to use. The pitcher may change arms on the next hitter but must indicate the arm to be used. No warm-up pitches between the change of arms and if an arm is injured, the pitcher may change arms and the umpire must be notified of the injury. The injured arm cannot be used again in that game.

- In baseball if a ball is picked up by the fielder while it is on the foul line before it reaches 3rd base it is a fair ball?
- Does the batter get a sacrifice if the runner on first tags and goes to second?
- If a Runner on 3rd gets hit by foul ball in foul territory before the ball reaches 3rd is he safe or out?
- Is the batter out if a foul ball is caught by catcher and the umpire says he was not in the circle when pitch was thrown so it was no good?
