You’ve heard of utility players and even the newer variation known as super-utility players, but we’ll have to find a new label to apply to Mariners minor leaguer Leury Bonilla after what he did Monday.

Bonilla, 25, had a change of scenery in every inning, playing all nine positions for the Double-A West Tenn Diamond Jaxx in their regular season finale. And it wasn’t as if he just stood around at each position and called it an accomplishment; Bonilla managed to hit a home run and contribute a sacrifice fly in his four trips to the plate and didn’t allow a run in the inning he pitched.

His box score line is pretty impressive, reading CF-LF-RF-2B-SS-3B-1B-C-P as he worked his way around the diamond.
