Former Braves catcher Christian Bethancourt became the fifth player in major league history to play at least four positions - including pitcher - in one game.

Bethancourt started San Diego's 16-4 loss Tuesday to Seattle behind the plate. He moved to left field before going up to the mound  to pitch the eighth inning.

As far as pitching debuts it was somewhat impressive.

Watch it here:

Bethancourt isn't the only former Brave position player to take the mound this season. Jordan Schafer is trying to make a comeback to the majors as a pitcher.
