AnswerIt is a very rare occurrence to see a position player come in to pitch and would happen only when it is late in the game and the team is so far behind that the manager decides he doesn't want to use anymore pitchers.
--this has actually happened quite often. When a team is losing bad AND/or it has exhausted its pitching staff during the game, it will use position players to pitch. I remember seeing something on sports center about an outfielder who had pitched three or four times in the last three years in the above situation, He threw barely 65 mph compared to the standard 85-95mph of a MLB starting pitcher, but had a great curve and was hitless !
