Ben Zobrist is a former MLB utility player for the Tampa Bay Rays, Chicago Cubs, Oakland Athletics, and Kansas City Royals. Zobrist is a two-time World Series champion, winning World Series in consecutive seasons of 2015 with the Royals and 2016 with the Cubs. Zobrist was the 2016 World Series Most Valuable Player. He is one of seven players in MLB history to have won back-to back World Series championships on different teams.
A versatile defender and a switch-hitter with a high walk rate, he played roughly half his innings at second base, and also spent significant time at shortstop and various outfield positions. Thus, he has often been referred to as a "super utility player."
