The offensive part of Oswaldo Cabrera’s game is still developing, but the New York Yankees are getting extreme defensive value from the super-utility man. At 24 years old, the team has been moving his defensive position on a weekly basis to fill supplementary needs and mitigate fatigue across the board.

However, Oswaldo won the starting left-field job outright over Aaron Hicks, but he’s been playing regularly to start the 2023 season.
