It isn’t easy being a journeyman utility guy. You’re constantly on the move, perpetually on the fringes of a major league roster, never quite good enough to get regular playing time but just good enough for one organization after another to take a chance on you. You usually don’t stick around anywhere long enough to make an impression, instead flitting away as quietly as you came.
That’s Jace Peterson in a nutshell. Did you know he played 93 games with the Orioles in 2018? I never would’ve guessed it was that many. Peterson joined the Birds, his fourth organization, on April 25 and remained on the active roster the rest of the season.
