Jorge Jesús Rubio Chávez (April 23, 1945 – June 15, 2020) was a Mexican
ambidextrous pitching in high school and could throw with "the same speed left-handed" but less control. He continued using his left hand in spring training with the Reds in 1968 but said he planned to use his right hand regularly once it was sufficiently rested.[3]
He died on June 15, 2020.[4]
