"Braves Release Charlie Culberson, Transition to Pitcher"

Charlie Culberson, known as a utility man in baseball, was released by the Atlanta Braves as he attempted to transition into a pitcher at the age of 34. Despite a minor league deal as a right-handed pitcher, Culberson struggled in spring training, being charged with six earned runs over three pitching appearances. With a career spanning 11 years and 586 games, Culberson has 30 home runs and 145 RBIs, but his attempt to reinvent himself as a pitcher has led to his release from the Braves.
