The Yankees are hoping Tyler Wade can follow in Ben Zobrist's footsteps

Tyler Wade has come and gone from the Yankees' 25-man roster numerous times over the last three seasons. Counted on for his defensive versatility and elite speed, Wade has been a stopgap at numerous positions of need. This versatility has drawn comparisons to Ben Zobrist, who for nearly a decade was the gold-standard for super-utility players, and there are many similarities in their games.

From the first time that Tyler Wade was plugged into the outfield to fill a need in 2017, the name Ben Zobrist has been thrown around as to what Yankees fans hope he will turn into.
