Odds Pat Venditte makes majors

Venditte was on the news again in NY recently. If you dont know who he is, he the circus show/ Harlem Globetrotter of baseball. He is a switch-pitching player in the Yanks minor leagues. Apparently some Dad is teaching his kids at a young age to throw both ways. Way to ruin a kid.

My odds are 0% for making the major, but the kid will make some money doing it.

I should really go see this guy while he's pitching in Staten Island... it's like a 20 minute drive from my house lol

Yeah...you should

His stuff sounds decent (low 90s FB and a big curve fro the right side) that if he sticks with that he has a decent chance of making it eventually.

A quick note, He's following the footsteps of Greg Harris here, who wore a similar glove:

on a further note Greg Harris from Lynwood CA, Weird Al born in Lynwood CA - coincidence ?

What do you have against Venditte? He had an ERA under 1 last year.
