Culberson spent 11 years in professional baseball and the better part of eight years in MLB with the Dodgers, Braves, the Rangers. Despite playing major league games at 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, and RF he had most recently tried to convert to pitching with the Braves but was unable to make it stick. Culberson finishes his career with a batting line of .248/.293/.385, and a 77 wRC+.

Culberson was roughed up in a couple appearances this spring after attempting to convert to pitching full-time. It’s unclear whether the 34-year-old will attempt to continue the experiment moving forward.

Seriously, that’s not a typo. Culberson is attempting a late-career reboot as a pitcher after more than a decade as a versatile utility infielder in the big leagues. It’s not unprecedented with Anthony Gose serving as perhaps the best example of this mid-to-late career conversion in recent history. The 34-year-old will head to the minor league side of Braves’ camp this spring. It’s a fascinating wrinkle for a player who has had one of the more unique recent stretches in the majors from a playing time standpoint.

He’s back. Culberson winds up reuniting with the Braves just a few days after electing free agency following his removal from Atlanta’s 40-man roster. The 34-year-old veteran infielder has played slightly more in the majors than the average fan over the last few months, registering just one plate appearance in the big leagues this season.
