Utility players are often the unsung heroes of a team. They provide flexibility by filling in at various positions without missing a beat. Players like Ben Zobrist and super-utility men today show how valuable this role is—helping teams stay competitive by offering depth. I think they deserve more credit for keeping the lineup balanced.

As a baseball fan, I’ve come to appreciate the versatility of utility players like Ben Zobrist, who was crucial to the Cubs’ 2016 World Series win. They may not always grab headlines, but their ability to play multiple positions and deliver in clutch moments makes them invaluable to any team’s success.
