"Springer rebounded from a rough 2024 season to post a .959 OPS and hit 32 home runs, to go with a .399 on-base percentage, 27 doubles in 140 games. He also scored 106 runs, the most Springer has scored in a season since his All-Star season in 2018 with Houston. He also had some big moments during the season, including a grand slam against the New York Yankees in a pivotal Canada Day win. The Blue Jays swept that four-game series and never let go of first place in the AL East."
"Hampered by injuries throughout 2024, Springer hit just .220/.303/.371. Coming into spring training, things didn't look promising at first for Springer, according to Toronto hitting coach David Popkins. That was until they realized Springer was putting his foot down early when swinging, Popkins told Gate 14 Podcast. Some work in the cage led to a couple of changes made to Springer's swing, and he homered in the next spring game. "And he kind of took off," Popkins said."
