The guy from Creighton has a special glove as well. It has a thumb on each end and a centrally located trap.

As far as the switching arms goes, it is the same principle used as when, say, a RH batter pinch hits to face a LH pitcher. The defense makes a pitching change for a RH pitcher to go against the Righty. The offense then gets the last move, and can burn another LH bench player to get the match-up they want. That pitcher is then required to pitch to the offense's final choice.

If there were no such rule in place to stop the switching, it would also result in a stalemate, or teams running out of players.
