Venditte Dominating Minors

From the AP:

So far, professional baseball’s only righty-lefty reliever has done nothing but improve his chances of eventually becoming the Yankees’ ambidextrous answer out of the bullpen.

Venditte has been lights out the past two seasons at Staten Island and Charleston, converting 36 of 38 save opportunities. This year, he leads the South Atlantic League with 13 saves and has 31 strikeouts—against one walk— in 20 innings for the RiverDogs.


A very nice feature on Venditte. I'd love to see him on the YES Network soon, especially with the Yankees' need for good releivers. Dude has an 0.86 ERA, a 0.81 WHIP and only 1 walk in 21 innings. But I'll wait until he's dominating in Scranton.

The piece also mentions this quirky incident:
