Dupree pitched and played the outfield at Fresno City College. Nonetheless, the Padres selected him in the 1973 Major League Baseball draft with the intention of having him play the infield.[1]

He batted and threw right-handed. He also played a season in Japan for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp as an outfielder in 1980.

A single in his only at-bat left Dupree with a rare MLB career batting average of 1.000.
