“They don’t want to throw Vladdy at him,” says Teoscar Hernández and that suits him and Toronto
It is popular knowledge that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He is the hottest bat in all of Major League Baseball and it is no coincidence that he dominates the voting for the MLB All-Star Game.
To the team of Toronto blue jays It has helped him to stay playing for .500 and the goal should be to return to the postseason again, being second in batting average, seventh in runs scored and first in home runs.
But one of the biggest beneficiaries of Vladdy’s great season is precisely his compatriot Teoscar Hernandez that since 2018 has been showing that he belongs to the Major Leagues.
Last weekend the Cotuí native expressed his satisfaction saying that the best thing that could happen to him is hitting behind Guerrero, leaving runners up to him to tow.
“They don’t want to throw Vladdy at him. It’s more than on right now. I think they’d rather throw myself at me”Teoscar expressed.
At the moment, the winner of the Silver Bat in 2020 accumulates the best batting average in a season of his career with .298 and if he maintains the rhythm he could exceed 30 home runs and 100 RBIs for the first time in his career in the Major Leagues.
Since the start of last season, Teoscar has one of the best at-bite home run averages taken alongside figures like Fernando Tatis Jr, Ronald Acuna Y Nelson Cruz.
Unfortunately for the Blue Jays they have not been able to count on their great offseason signing, George Springer, due to injuries although it is expected that he could be back soon, and he would be one more weapon for the powerful offense of the Blue Jays.
Teoscar’s good season has earned him All-Star votes, and on the first count he placed fifth among outfielders in the American League with 224,441.
Awaiting the return of Springer, with the performance that the Dominicans are having, Toronto’s lineup will be more feared and they will need to collectively raise the bar if they want to reach the postseason in a difficult AL East.
