Arizona hosts high school invitational tournament
has a different coordination! In an invitational match, Max Charles, a 16-year-old high school baseball player, stood in the strike zone not only with the left and right arrows, but also equalized and double base hits. Max Charles was able to use his dexterity to solve the hitter on the pitching mound, and his all-round skills surprised the audience. In the three high school invitational tournaments held by
Arizona , Max Charles, who represented the Western Conference, took away the attention of the whole game. He served as the last pitcher in Game 3. After first solving the hitter with a rolling ball, Max Charles changed from right to left shot in the face of the next shot, which staged a very rare scene, but he also had unstable ball control, and made three consecutive walks to form a full base.
A switch-pitcher AND a switch-hitter?!

, Brad Penny, who was selected for the second major league star game and served as the Western Conference pitcher coach, called a timeout to let the pitcher take a breath. Then Max Charles regained his spirit and scored the second out with a strikeout. However, because the number of balls reached the upper limit, Max Charles was unable to resolve the crisis on the court himself, but the teammates who succeeded to succeed were still successful. In the end, the Western Conference defeated the Eastern Conference 5:1 and won the victory.
According to the official report of the major league, Max Charles has been pitching with both hands since he was 2 years old. In addition, Max Charles is also a strong hitter who shoots left and right. He once scored a two-base hit in the game, which made the live anchor even praise "Shohei Otani who can shoot with both hands". His athletic ability is really enviable.
In the past major league history, only Pat Venditte appeared on the court in a "left and left-handed" way. However, he only had 2 wins and 2 losses in 61 games in his career, with an undesirable result of 4.73. He disappeared from the major leagues in just 5 seasons. Max Charles, who can also use both hands, must strengthen his ball control skills next, and with good blow skills, Max Charles is expected to become the first major league player in history to "left and left-handed" shooters.
