Braves’ Charlie Culberson breaks silence on returning as a pitcher.

Charlie Culberson is returning to the Atlanta Braves. The former position player is making his return as a pitcher, however. Culberson recently joined MLB Network and revealed when he decided to attempt to pursue pitching at the big league level.

I think last year,” Culberson said. “After signing back with the Braves. When they first called me up, Alex (Anthopoulos) basically said, ‘hey, you’re gonna basically ride the bench. You’re not gonna play, Braves guys play everyday. After two stints up and getting one at-bat, I kind of made the decision. I kind of see the writing on the wall. I love being back home with my family.
