Garth Iorg, primarily known for his defensive prowess and a part of the 'Mullinorg' platoon, played nine seasons with the Blue Jays, contributing to their historic 1985 playoff run.
Despite a lackluster offensive record, Iorg's one standout year in 1985 saw him batting .313 and hitting 7 home runs, a pivotal moment for the Jays that season.
Iorg's tenure with the Blue Jays was marked by his utility role in a struggling team, showcasing his defensive abilities while being overshadowed by stronger offensive players.
The evolution of platoon strategies in baseball affects player roles, as teams now focus more on pitching depth, making Iorg's era of platoon systems a notable reference.
