The Lake County Captains, the High-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians, have a very interesting job available this summer: Drummer.

The job is so unique that noted minor league expert Benjamin Hill said on social media that he's never seen such a posting before.

Here's a Minor League job posting I've never seen before:

"Drummer – Take up the sticks and lead the charge, rallying the crowd with every beat as the pulse of Captains baseball."

Minor League Baseball certainly knows how to have its fun, and it appears that will be the vibe again this season at Captains games.

The Captains will begin their season on April 4 at Great Lakes, but they will start the home portion of their schedule on April 8 against the West Michigan Whitecaps. The Whitecaps are the High-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, the American League Central rivals of the Guardians.
