Joey Gallo was released on Sunday by the Chicago White Sox and if the 31-year-old signs on with another team, he'll be making a position switch. After playing outfield, third base and first base throughout his 10-year MLB career, Gallo intends to give pitching a try.

When Joey Gallo made his MLB debut with the Rangers in 2015, he was seen as one of the best pure power-hitting prospects in baseball. And over the ensuing 10 years, he showed plenty of flashes of that power.

At 31 years old, Joey Gallo is aiming to breathe new life into his baseball career by trading his bat for a spot on the pitcher’s mound.
