Primarily an infielder throughout his career, Jake Elmore served as a jack-of-all-trades for the 2013 Astros. Elmore appeared in at least one game at every position that season, including his big league debut at both catcher and pitcher in a 16-5 loss to the Rangers on August 19th. In addition to his one perfect inning on the mound, Elmore hit .242 in 136 plate appearances for Houston.

Waived that winter, the versatile Elmore has bounced from the White Sox to Oakland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Milwaukee, Miami and Toronto before being re-signed by the White Sox and Pittsburgh through the 2019 season. Overall, he has batted .215 with four homers in parts of six big league campaigns for six different teams.
