We have to pick this guy up. Purely for the Enigo Montoya "I'm not left handed" moment that he could pull.

Is it just me, or is his 6-finger glove pretty big compared to a regular glove. IMO he should have two gloves and a only way he should be able to change glove is during a mound visit, or before an inning starts.

I disagree. If he's capable of doing it, then all the power to him. he should be able to change, pitch to pitch.

Pitch-to-pitch would be annoying against a switch-hitter, which is why he's allowed to change only once during an at-bat, if I recall the Venditte Rule implemented last year.

Does the MLB have a stated policy or set of rules for this guy? I know they set up a system for him in the minors, but has it been confirmed that this would carry over exactly into the majors?

If he can throw the ball, he's an instant nightmare if he switches hands on people.

With that being said, I don't know the policy.

I remember watching a youtube video on this guy, i don't think he's a major leaguer at all. He throws like 85 with his dominant hand and 80 with his left and his pitching arsenal is basically nonexistent.
