"Daulton Varsho was a revelation for many Blue Jays fans in 2025, despite his limited plate appearances. The trade that brought him to Toronto in 2023 sparked controversy due to his lagging offence, but the Wisconsin native managed to turn around the discourse by making highlight reel plays every week in the outfield and showing off his power at the plate."
"Varsho continues to be a defensive asset There's no argument about the 29-year-old's defence. Ever since moving to the outfield in Arizona, Varsho has caught everyone's attention with his run speed and accurate catches. His foolproof defence was one of the biggest reasons why the Blue Jays were willing to bring him through a trade to fortify their defence after a failed attempt at reaching the playoffs."
Daulton Varsho produced a .238/.284/.548 slashline with 55 RBIs and 20 home runs in 71 games in 2025, showing significant power despite limited plate appearances. He hit three homers and scored 12 runs in an 18-game October run while slashing .227/.284/.427. Varsho earned a Gold Glove in 2024 and has elite outfield range and accurate catches. FanGraphs defensive metrics show highs and lows: 14 in 151 games at his best, 7.9 in 158 games in 2023, 12.7 in 136 games in 2024, and 4.7 during an injury-marred 2025. If healthy for a full season, Varsho could substantially increase both defensive runs saved and offensive value, helping fill a gap in the Blue Jays' core.
