Yes, but if he starts a batter right-handed he must finish that batter right-handed (or left-handed if he started the batter left-handed).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would it be possible for someone to note the rule in MLB, or in any organized Baseball league, that states a pitcher cannot change hands to a batter during an at bat. This question comes up a lot with the question of 'can a batter switch sides of the plate during an at bat'. It would be great if someone could note the rule concerning this.

Can a pitcher switch from throwing right handed to left handed during a single at bat?

A pitcher can be changed during an at bat as long as that pitcher has pitched a full at bat to at least one batter.

There is a minor leaguer in the Yankees system named Pat Venditte who is a true switch pitcher (pitches left-handed to lefties and right-handed to righties, does a little shuffle with switch hitters), but he has yet to make the majors. In a game in the mid-90s, righty Greg Harris pitched to a few batters left-handed. An 1800s pitcher named Tony Mullane, usually a righty, pitched left-handed to several batters over the course of his career, but not enough to be considered a true switch-pitcher.

Why does field hockey cater only for right handed players?

Although the stick is designed for right-handed people, there are some skills which left-handers find easier. The game was originally played this way because more of the players were right-handed, and it has continued as such because having combination of left- and right-handed sticks is a serious safety issue; this (danger) is the first thing FIH tries to avoid, and so the rules require a stick made the right-handed way.
