This is awesome.
Jurrangelo Cijntje wasn't going to let this opportunity pass him by.
The Seattle Mariners' top-100 High-A prospect took the mound in Atlanta at the MLB Futures Game on Saturday. The switch-pitcher had to show off both arms, right?
That's what he did in a scoreless frame.
It almost doesn't do justice to Cijntje to describe him in words.
Just watch:

The Mariners have had Cijntje use his right arm much more than his left in the last month-plus, but there's still plenty of time to develop both.
Their current development plan has had him pitch with different arms at different points in the week, almost as if he is two different pitchers on a schedule, rather than switching mid-inning.
But only getting one inning at the Futures Game, he made due in his special way.
His fastball touched 98.7 miles per hour from the right side, making him the second-hardest thrower in the game.
He sits more in the low-to-mid 90s from the left, still mighty impressive.
There's nobody like Cijntje, and hopefully the Mariners let him stick with this as he climbs the minor league ladder.
