Switch-hitter? Sure. Switch-pitcher? Rare, but not unprecedented. But switch-fielder? Meet Anthony Seigler, who appeared Wednesday night for Double-A Somerset as a left-handed-throwing left fielder and Thursday night as a right-handed-throwing catcher.

Interesting. Is there any real advantage to this? The only one that I can think of off of the top of my head is that he has another arm to use in case of an injury to one. 
He’s a catcher first. When he plays outfield his bat is in the lineup and he’s still resting his catcher’s throwing arm.

Ah, yep. Very useful!
My son switch hits, but he really has not tried to switch throw - that seems like a whole other challenge!
He's an interesting talent. Did everything in HS - pitched well from both sides, played the infield, OF, and caught. I wonder if doing all that hurt him. Jack of all trades master of none type situation. Although he was a very good catcher.
He has struggled in the minors, I would imagine his rise thru the system is largely in part because of where he was drafted
