Pat Venditte is one of the most unique players in Major League Baseball history because he’s a “switch-pitcher.” The ambidextrous Venditte can throw with either hand for the Marlins, thus adjusting to each batter he faces.
Over his four-year big-league career, Venditte has gone 2-2 with a 5.03 ERA and 1.309 WHIP over 68 innings pitched. He’s registered 53 strikeouts and 28 walks over that span. A journeyman bullpen arm, Venditte has pitched for Oakland, Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco throughout his career.
In 2019, Venditte made only two appearances with the Giants. He gave up six earned runs in 3 1/3 innings pitched.
