Vladimir Guerrero Jr. expressed strong confidence that his offensive production is about to improve after the Toronto Blue Jays defeated an opponent 6-4 on Sunday.
Standing by his locker after the game, the slugger said he feels better at the plate and has adjusted his approach by pulling the ball more in the air. “I always tell the guys, don’t worry about me,” Guerrero said. “I’m going to be good. When I get hot, I’ll get hot.” Through 64 games the Blue Jays first baseman holds a .752 OPS and three home runs while the team sits at 32-34. Teammate Ernie Clement suggested the club could surpass its World Series run from the previous season if healthy players return. Guerrero added that he has been hitting the ball hard and believes results will follow with continued patience and hard work.
