Farm report: Pat Venditte
Everyone's favorite switch pitcher is off to a good start in his first full season with Class A Tampa. Pat Venditte, 25, a natural righty who has thrown with both arms since he was 3, spent most of last season with Charleston, going 2-2 with a 1.47 ERA before his promotion to Tampa. Venditte is 0-0 with a 2.13 ERA in 14 games this season. He has seven walks and 30 strikeouts. Venditte made his spring training debut March 31 against the Braves and allowed a run in one inning. He's a long way from the majors but has succeeded at every level, and the Yankees remain very intrigued.
