It’s pretty easy to forget how many talented first and second year players the Blue Jays have on their roster. That’ll happen when the list is headlined by the likes of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and more.
However, the Blue Jays certainly had a lot more where that came from in 2019, and one of the key pieces was their starting catcher, Danny Jansen. The 24-year-old played in 31 games after a late-season promotion in 2018, and after the Blue Jays traded Russell Martin last winter, Jansen was handed the keys to the starting catcher’s role last season.
