Pat Venditte
Patrick Michael Venditte, Jr. (born June 30, 1985) is an American baseball player. He is a Minor League Baseball player currently in the New York Yankees organization. After attending Creighton University, the Yankees drafted Venditte in 2008. He currently pitches for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in the International League.
Venditte is a switch pitcher, capable of pitching proficiently with both arms. He is recognized as the only active professional pitcher who is able to do this. Venditte's rare ability to pitch with either arm required Minor League Baseball to create a rule for ambidextrous pitchers, known colloquially as the "Pat Venditte Rule".
