Now playing in the ultimate “you do you” city, Venditte is unique in that he is ambidextrous–he pitches from both his left and right arms. Venditte is a low-risk option for the San Francisco Giants, as he will make only $585,000 in a one-year deal.
Venditte did have limited success last season with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 14 innings pitched, he only gave up 11 hits and four runs (2.57 ERA). He’s struggled in years past but the Giants hope to catch lightning in a bottle, adding to their bullpen depth.
The switch pitcher has also played for the Oakland A’s, Seattle Mariners, and the Toronto Blue Jays.
