Blue Jays’ outfield defence will be an overdue strength in 2018

While the Blue Jays have had gold glove calibre defence in centre field for the last three seasons from Kevin Pillar, the rest of their outfield has lacked in that department. In 2017 we watched the corner outfield mostly occupied by Jose Bautista in right, and a mixture of Steve Pearce and Ezequiel Carrera in left.

Combined, those three struggled to varying degrees, and frequently offered very little help to “Superman” who played up the middle. Bautista seemed to be moving better than he did in his injury riddled 2016 season, but the numbers didn’t reflect that so much.
