If a player such as Roach pitched right-handed the entire game ...

but then switched to lefty in order to hold a speedy runner on first base ...

but then immediately picked off the runner left-handed without delivering any pitches to the plate ...

and then went back to pitching right-handed ...

would this count as "switch pitching" ??

???


On a similar note: Has there been any instances where pitchers came into a game and immediately picked off a runner for the third out and then had their team get ahead in the bottom half of the inning so that they could get credit for a "win" without ever having thrown a pitch in the game (assuming a different pitcher came into the game in the following inning)??
