Pérez has never had an everyday defensive position while playing for the Milwaukee Brewers. However, this season, he has earned a regular spot in the batting order. He has been the definition of a super utility player.
After tossing one scoreless inning as a pitcher against the Washington Nationals, Pérez has now appeared at all but one position on the diamond in his career. He serves as the Brewers emergency catcher, so he can cross that one off in a pinch.
Plenty of players, coming off of the season Hernan Pérez had in 2016, would fight back against a utility role.
