Pat Venditte showed off both arms for the Yankees against the Braves on Tuesday, allowing one run in 1 1/3 innings.
"I understand where it's coming from," said Venditte, acknowledging why people are intrigued by him. "And it's my job to go out there and prove that I can pitch."
Venditte switched back and forth, depending on whether he was facing a righty or lefty.
"I think I have to," he said. "I don't have overpowering stuff from either side, so I think I really need this."

Yankees manager Joe Girardi is interested in "switch-pitcher" Pat Venditte.
Venditte will accompany New York to Lake Buena Vista on Tuesday for a split-squad game against the Braves.
"I've wanted to see it all spring," Girardi said. "I think it's interesting."
Venditte wears a special six-finger glove so that he can switch hands while on the mound.

Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira was hit by a pitch on Monday night in an exhibition game against the Orioles.
The pitch, thrown by Baltimore's Jeremy Guthrie, hit Teixeira in the right elbow and forced him out of the game.
"I was kind of like, 'Oh no!' when he got hit," manager Joe Girardi said. "He won't play [Tuesday] and probably won't play Wednesday. We'll shoot for Thursday."
The injury was determined to be a bruise.
