Scott Kingery has played seven positions in his two seasons as a Philadelphia Phillie. He has made appearances at shortstop, second base, third base, left field, center field, right field and even pitched in one game, putting his own spin on what could be defined as the “super-utility” role.

However, new manager Joe Girardi may have different plans for the 25-year-old going forward.

Girardi voiced his preference to have Kingery stick with one defensive position as opposed to moving all over the diamond during the Baseballtown Caravan at the Crowne Plaza Reading on Tuesday.
