Kevin Brown has gone from striking out big league batters to retiring would-be mail thieves.

The longtime major league pitcher seemingly put an end to a recent run of stolen mail in his north Macon, Georgia, neighborhood, apprehending a 15-year-old and another man before their arrests Wednesday.

According to The (Macon) Telegraph, Brown hid in a neighbor's yard and waited for the alleged thieves to swipe some mail. When they tried, Brown caught them, holding them at gunpoint until police arrived, officers at the scene told the newspaper.

There was no immediate word on what the charges were.
