Culberson said a lot of the same on the MLB Network segment as he did on the podcast, but he was asked a few questions that required different answered.
Peavy and Vasgersian asked about strengths and weaknesses the 35-year-old is experiencing, and he noted that his experience as a hitter gives him more perspective about the how hard it is to hit in the first place.
When asked about people who have helped in his pitching journey, Culberson shouted out Craig Bjornson, the Stripers pitching coach, Paul Davidson, the pitching coordinator, and Sean McLoughlin of Maven Baseball Labs.
Culberson said he hasn't ruled out hitting completely, but he has been fully focused on pitching this offseason. He did note that he'll be taking batting gloves to Spring Training just in case.
