In Moberly there's a 13-year-old ballplayer with a different type of advantage.

Caleb Liegey plays for the Moberly Knights and when he gets ready for a game, he makes sure he has his bat, baseball shoes, and both of his gloves.

Caleb isn't just left or right handed. He's both handed.

"We played catch in the living room from about the time he was two-years-old and it took me awhile, but I realized he was just throwing the ball with whatever hand he picked it up with," said Caleb's dad Stuart.

During the college baseball season, Caleb had the chance to meet Creighton pitcher Pat Venditte, a fellow switch pitcher.

"We saw him on the news so my dad said we had to go see him. I thought it was really good to see someone else do what I can do," Caleb said.

"It was really eye opening for him when he met Pat Venditte. He got to interact with him some because he's the only pitcher in division 1A who can do that," said Stuart.

Caleb doesn't have the two-handed glove Venditte owns, which costs $400. But being double dominant does have an advantage.

"Sometimes my arms hurt and so I'll just use the other one. If i'm not throwing strikes than I'll just switch to the other hand," Caleb said.

Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin and President Harry Truman are just a few of the other recognizable ambidextrous names.

Greg Harris is best known as the only pitcher in the modern era to pitch with both arms in the major leagues. He played for eight teams from 1981 through 1995.
