At this point in the season, hearing the term ‘positional flexibility’ probably induces a collective eye roll from everyone in ear shot of it being said.
For some prospects, though, it’s a vital trait to have as they move up the ladder.

There are only three positions that Jase Bowen hasn’t played this season: Pitcher, catcher and shortstop.
He’s played double digits games at first and second base as well as center field, and could reach that mark in the corner outfield spots by the end of the month as well.
