While it was a disappointing season for the Blue Jays in 2019, there were certainly plenty of encouraging signs for the future. One of the most significant is the talent of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who had a successful rookie campaign and will look to build on it in 2020 as a MLB sophomore.
Despite slashing .272/.339/.432 with 15 home runs, 26 doubles, and 69 RBI in 123 games during his first big league season, many viewed his debut as a bit of a disappointment. That’s because he came with as much or more hype than any Blue Jays’ prospect in franchise history, and people forget that he’s not even old enough to purchase alcohol in the United States yet.
