INDIANAPOLIS -- Christopher Bostick smiled and slightly chuckled when thinking about how to describe his professional career thus far.
“Kind of all over the place,” he simply said.
Bostick, promoted by the Pirates on Monday, fittingly picked a versatile description.
He’s playing for his third organization since being drafted in the 44th round of the 2011 draft by Oakland. Bostick has been a top-30 prospect with Oakland, Washington, and now, Pittsburgh.
He’s played four different positions already this season with Triple-A Indianapolis, spending time everywhere but catcher and first base in Spring Training.
He’s also been all over the lineup as a hitter, now being used as the Indians’ primary lead-off batter since Gift Ngoepe was promoted.
