Wow, only a passing mention of Greg Harris. That's a shame.

This guy is "amphibious" like Charles Shackleford

Yeah, it was in the NY Times yesterday and it said that with this one switch hitter he would keep changing his glove hand and make the guy go back and forth...The ump eventually made him stop because the rule (in the NCAA and MLB :() is that the pitcher has to declare which hand he's using before the at bat and then stick with it at least for the one batter... It would be pretty awesome if he made it to the majors though.

This is awesome. I'm ambidextrous myself but I never go further than switch hitting. I "can" throw with my left arm but I have absolutely no power or location, and I just throw the ball, I can't even throw something looking like a fastball. I guess it could come with practice, but I'd rather work on my right arm. On the other hand (haha) I field pretty well as a lefty...

Well, I saw this posted on other sites, and it seems as if the Phillies are very interested in him as a late round pick.
Personally, I'd LOVE to see the Braves draft him.
