Far as I know there is no restriction on the pitcher, but you have to remember, common sense. If the pitcher switches to the other arm, then he/she won't be able to play defense very well because the glove on the wrong hand. Not very smart when you're that close to the batters and you can't play defense or acturately defend yourself. I would think the baseball forum would be able to answer this to the T.

OS:

I really don't care about your opinion, I care about the rules being applied correctly. Something you have never cared to do.

The batter can change on every single pitch if he wants, just not when the pitcher is delivering or is ready to deliver. The rule is 7-3-3.
