MLB Draft 2015: Cleveland Indians select ambidextrous pitcher Ryan Perez in 12th round

Welcome to the Tribe, Perez!

Less than a week after switch pitcher Pat Venditte made his MLB debut with the Oakland Athletics, the Cleveland Indians have drafted their own ambidextrous hurler, Ryan Perez, with their 12th round pick of the draft. Similar to Vendittie, Perez is capable of switching his throwing arm in the middle of a game or an at-bat and pitching extremely well from both sides.

Perez started to make headlines last year when it was apparent that he'd have a potential future in baseball after a great Junior campaign at Judson University.
