The pitcher, however, must pick a side, and stick with it for the whole at bat. He may switch mid inning, but not between pitches. Technically, the umpires broke a rule by not knowing the rule. You'd think that if they knew the switch pitcher was on the roster, they'd check the rules....
But the at bat never even started when the whole fiasco was going on.

right but once the pitcher is set the batter can't switch sides, which he did.

I would merge the threads, but turns out, it's easier on the other site. Oh well.

Technically, the batter can change following the pitch. But like I said, the pitcher has to announce which side he is pitching with, and the umps didn't have him do that...

In college, he had to declare which arm he was going to use before pitching.

S3F, one step ahead of Rick Reilly!
Re: Pat Venditte, the sensational switch-pitcher.
yankees should seriously consider bumping him from whatever level hes at to aaa, and trying to rush him to the majors thereafter.... he could always have initial zeigler-like success due to his pitching oddities
then again, he might be at aaa by now... but last i saw he was just dominating a ball or something
