James Jerome O'Toole (born January 10, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball during the early 1960s. From 1961-64, he won 19, 16, 17 and 17 games for the Cincinnati Reds and played a crucial role in Cincinnati's 1961 National League championship. That season he won 19 of 28 decisions, with an earned run average of 3.10, which placed him second in the NL. Although he pitched effectively in the 1961 World Series, O'Toole lost his only two decisions as the New York Yankees bested the Reds in five games.
