Many Famous Players Started as Pitchers
A survey of Hall of Fame era players shows many stars began as pitchers or catchers before settling at other positions. Willie Keeler, Cy Seymour, Frank Chance, and Mile (Milo) Dougherty are cited as examples who shifted to outfield, infield, or other roles, with mentions of Kid Gleason, Callahan, Bobby Wallace, Hal Chase, Danny Hoftman, and Pat Dougherty as players who moved from pitching to valued positions.
