I've watched this plate appearance more times than I care to admit. That's a Hall of Fame closer right there. That's 100 MPH in on his hands off the plate. This was a 9 pitch at bat. Brandon Valenzuela is different man.

This is Ernie Clement personified. Gets the bat to 99 up and above the zone, and legs out an infield single. Dude's just a ballplayer.

This swing by Vladimir Guerrero Jr resulted in a batted ball of 99.1 MPH off the bat and 383 feet worth of distance. There are only a handful of humans capable of this kind of strength. Good. God.

No one's going to confuse Kazuma Okamoto for being an above average defensive 3B but he's not a butcher either by any means. He can pick it. Evidence below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Addison Barger reaches out and one hands this backdoor slider 101.6 MPH off the bat with a distance of 385 feet. Just absurd strength. His ceiling is in the stars. Can't wait to see what year 3 has in store for my undisputed favorite Blue Jay.

Addison Barger's average EV and hard-hit% sitting at 95.9 MPH and 62.7% respectively in the month of May were both the best marks in the American League, ahead of Aaron Judge. Barger's also underperforming his xwOBA by .57% suggesting he's been unlucky as well.

Jesús Sánchez strikeout rates and percentiles since 2022: 2022: 26.8% (17th) 2023: 26.6% (23rd) 2024: 26.1% (23rd) 2025: 22.1% (46th) 2026/7 PA's: 0.0% (100th) The Blue Jays have made deliberate changes to Jesús Sánchez's stance as previously noted in an effort to have him stand more upright and have less moving parts in his swing. The more vertical bat from a year ago is still apparent as is him standing more upright. Then we have today. Sánchez got ahead in the count 3-0 thanks to not chasing and trying to force the issue. He gets the green light because he has prodigious power and proceeds to detonate on 96 at the very bottom of the zone from Morales. This was not a cookie right down the middle. This was a good pitch. It didn't matter. Sky's the limit for this guy as he enters his athletic prime at 28 years old.

Charlee Soto is one of the Twins top pitching prospects. This fastball was dotted on the outside black at 98.8 MPH. Perfect pitch right? Except Juan Sanchez beat him to the spot and crushed an opposite RBI double at 104 MPH off the bat. Insane swing.
