Speaking of unorthodox deliveries
How about a switch-pitcher. The New York Times has a cool article about the only switch-pitcher in D1 baseball (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/06/sports/baseball/06pitcher.html?_r=1&oref=slogin)
He's probably not much of a prospect, but is intriguing enough that he could get drafted. Thoughts?

As a lefty, he's a side-armer, as a righty, he's much more over the top. The photo of him pitching from the left side is unflattering, but it's just a fluke of where they caught him in his side-arm delivery. The video shows that it's very nice.
The article also says that he's had zero trouble getting people out, throwing left-handed (or right-handed, as well) and that he's been doing it since he was three.
My Opinion
Those that know the college game know this is not Jim Hendry's Creighton, hasn't been for years and this not the Mo Valley back when Wichita State was competing for the CWS. This kid a very solid D1 player at a middle of the road talent-wise school in a middle of the road talent-wise conference. If he gets drafted it will be a late round "favor" pick.
