SEC batters will have to be ready for heat when Mississippi State's freshman takes the mound, and they'll have to be ready for it from his right arm and left arm.
Wednesday’s appearance was Cijntje’s second of the season. His first came in one inning of relief work against VMI last week.
Cijntje is a native of the Caribbean nation Curacao. He is a natural left-handed pitcher but brings more power from his right arm. Regardless, he tops 90 mph on the gun with both arms. Assuming he keeps playing at a high level, Cijntje will not be eligible for MLB until 2025. He was drafted in the 18th round of last year’s MLB draft but elected to stick with his commitment to play at Mississippi State. However, if he ever does play in the majors, he will not be the league’s first ambidextrous pitcher.
“[Pat]Venditte pitched for six teams between 2015 and 2020 and posted a career earned-run average of 4.73 in 72.1 innings pitched,” Yahoo Sports“Venditte was such a phenomenon that there actually had to be a rule instituted mandating him to indicate which arm he intended to use before an at-bat. Additionally, he was not permitted to switch arms during an at-bat .”
