Adrian Beltre readied himself to face Pat Venditte by flipping his helmet backward

As a master of the art of switch-pitching, Pat Venditte is always prepared -- whether facing a lefty or a righty, all he has to do is put his glove on his other hand and he's ready to go. And if you're a switch-hitter, well, he has no problem waiting:

But when Venditte came on to pitch during the Rangers' 6-3 win over the Mariners on Monday, one brave soul decided to turn the tables -- to crack the switch-pitcher code once and for all. His name? Adrián Beltré. His solution? Putting his helmet on backward.

Otherwise known as the Larry Walker School of Hitting.
