"When you make Game 7 of the World Series and come within two outs of winning a title, odds are a lot of your players had a really good postseason. Such is the case for the Toronto Blue Jays, who came agonizingly close to toppling the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Fall Classic. From Trey Yesavage's rookie breakout in October to Max Scherzer's tremendous Game 7 start, a lot of players stepped up to bring the Jays to the cusp of glory."
"At No. 2 on the list was Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who was undoubtedly the Blue Jays' October MVP. After hitting .397/.494/.795 (241 wRC+) and breaking the franchise's all-time postseason home run record, he had a strong case for the top spot, though World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto triumphed... again. Gross. Trey Yesavage was the next Jays player to appear on the list, at No. 4, which is about right after his historically-great rookie performance in the postseason."
Toronto reached Game 7 of the World Series and came within two outs of winning a title against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ranked No. 2 after a .397/.494/.795 slash line, 241 wRC+ and breaking the franchise postseason home run record. Trey Yesavage ranked No. 4 following a rookie October in which he nearly doubled his MLB innings, posted a 3.58 ERA and 35.8% strikeout rate, and helped the team go 4-1 in his starts, including World Series Game 1 and Game 5 wins. Ernie Clement ranked No. 5 with a .411/.416/.562 line and MLB's all-time postseason hits record. Addison Barger ranked No. 6 after delivering the first pinch-hit World Series grand slam and posting a .367/.441/.583 line. George Springer ranked No. 7 with a .284/.347/.552 line and four home runs.
