If you have ever watched a game of softball, you might have noticed a player who doesn’t stick to one position but seems to be ready to jump into different spots on the field.
That player is likely a utility player. But what exactly does that mean? A utility player is someone who can play multiple positions on the field.
Even if they are covering the infield, outfield, or even behind the plate as a catcher, utility players are ready to step in wherever their team needs them. This versatility makes them a valuable asset to the team.
