We must have some baseball umpires on the Basketball forum. If I remember correctly, the umpire made the batter choose a side of the plate first, and then the pitcher was able to respond to the batter's selection.
What is the actual rule? I don't know baseball rules, but I would think that it should have been the other way around then what was done in that situation. After all, in almost all cases, except this one, the pitcher only pitches with one arm, and switch hitters get to pick a side of the plate to bat from.
