New York Yankees star rookie Oswaldo Cabrera is leaning into his baseball talents and lending his skill to the team. The 23-year-old is a multi-talented player who shines at every position he graces, as witnessed by his performance in the 2022 season. Often compared to former Yankees captain Derek Jeter, Cabrera showcases signs of Jeter’s talent as well as his signature charm.

Signing with the Yankees at just 16 years old, he debuted in MLB in August 2022 as starting third baseman. Since then, he has taken up various positions, like second baseman, shortstop, and right fielder. A relatively newer member of the Bronx Bombers, the front office is making full use of his talents and hoping to inspire the rest of the team in the meantime.

But does Cabrera himself have a favorite position to play at? Well, he has an interesting answer!

Oswaldo Cabrera will play at whatever position leads the team to win

The 23-year-old has already learned to appease reporters with his charismatic persona and intriguing answers. Talking to some of them on Sunday, Feb. 19th, Cabrera talked about what position he prefers. Which, as it turns out, is none of them and all of them.

“The position I prefer to play is the position that the manager wants me at that day to help the team win,” the Yankee said. When asked if he takes pride in his abilities, he continued, “I just try to work hard all the time. Work hard and be better in each position.”
