Joe Nathan To Learn to Pitch With Left Arm

Joe Nathan is still in agony about having Tommy John Surgery on his right shoulder. The Twins have no other option at the closer position, so they are hoping that he can learn how to pitch with a healthy left arm.

"I still have three weeks in Spring Training to learn how to be a lefty" said Nathan while resting on his right arm. "Spring Training is normally a waste of time so I hope to spend this time usefully."

Nathan was showing off his left arm to the media yesterday during practice. His "fastball" topped out at 44 mph. Nathan is currently working on other pitches but as of now, he has only perfected his 44 mph fastball. If Nathan can't improve, the Twins will have to rely on pitchers that nobody has ever heard of to close games for them.
