His unearthly gift must be seen to be believed: a right-handed college pitcher, confident on the hill, in command of several pitches, his fastball blazing well into the mid-90s.

Then—behold!—he switches his custom Wilson glove to his opposite hand, adjusts his feet, turns his body and does it all over again…left-handed.

His name is Jurrangelo Cijntje (pronounced SAIN-ja), and he’s a 20-year-old “switch-pitching” phenomenon from Curaçao, by way of the Netherlands and Florida, currently helping 16th-ranked Mississippi State make a charge to the College World Series.

At the moment, Cijntje holds a 7-1 record with 89 strikeouts over 70 innings. He would be a major-league prospect if he merely threw from the right side, where his repertoire includes a sizzling fastball, curve, slider and change-up.

It seems like there would be more of these guys in College and lower levels of pro baseball. Such a great weapon, especially now that the pitchers have to throw to 3 batter minimum in relief.

There haven’t been that many amphibious pitchers in the MLB

He could be his own reliever.

Someone said being ambidextrous meant being equally bad with both hands.

I actually got the player wrong. It was Charles Shakleford, not Chris Washburn
