Hypotheticals re ambidextrous players in baseball
Ambidextrous pitcher is set on the mound as a right hander. With a runner on second, can the pitcher step off the rubber with his right foot towards second base, remove his glove, and throw the ball with his left hand in order to pick off the runner? Maybe by even forcibly dropping the glove to take advantage of Newton's Third Law of Motion?
Can a fielder remove their glove to throw with their opposing hand such as an outfielder throwing the ball in or player trying to get an out by throwing it to a base?

Not the quality I'd expect from a March 2012 reg date.

I think thermodynamics and the Pythagorean theorem are such that this is not a viable plan though I certainly understand the energy and logic
A better question would be if the ambidextrous pitcher can use photosynthesis to pick off the runner at 3rd and multiball rules to simultaneously use the other hand to throw to the plate

no to the pickoff attempt.
a pitcher also can't alter which hand is throwing mid windup.
yes a FIELDER can do anything within his heavenly powers to get the ball to its destination.
