Minor League's Mudcats Use Justin Toole in All 9 Positions in 9-Inning Game

Gabe ZaldivarMay 31, 2018

This is something you don't see every game. 

From the wacky and zany minds that bring you off-the-wall promotions, the minor leagues managed to outdo themselves yet again, as one player recently played in every single position. 

There is now nothing the MLB farm system won't do for a promotion.

MiLB.com reports (h/t Deadspin) Mudcats' utility man and jack of all trades, Justin Toole, managed to play in every single position on the field recently, as part of a "Toole Time" promotion at Five County Stadium. 

Thank you for all the beautiful pun possibilities, Mudcats. 

"

Toole began the game in right field, moving across the outfield over the first three innings. He made his way to the infield in the fourth, starting at first base and reaching third by the seventh. He caught the eighth and finished the night on the mound.

"

Quite a handy Toole to have around. (Boom!)

The 25-year-old is far more useful than just a one-off promotion stuntman. The report issues he has been all over the Indians' farm system, filling voids thanks to injury and promotion. 

He may not be the next Matt Kemp or Mike Trout and his pedestrian .225 in 90 games is easily forgotten, but his amazing feat is not. 

Thinking about playing all nine positions on the field is something every baseball fan has wondered about since suiting up to head to the Little League field. 

Toole had this to say about his time Toole-ing around the field. (Bam x2)

"

It was something in the back of my head [all year] that I would hopefully get a chance to do it. Being a utility guy, I bounce around a bit, up to Columbus, up to Akron. And when I was up there, I wasn't sure I would get to come back and do that, but due to some shuffling, I came back here. And that was one of the first things [Rodriguez] said to me: 'You get to play all nine now.'

You think it'll be cool, not sure it'll happen, but it was a blast...

"

Justin Toole is the player that can pretty much do everything, including make a Mudcats game something for the world to peek its head up and notice. 

He kind of makes all you other ball players look lazy by comparison.
