"Vladimir Guerrero Jr. wasn't just the best Blue Jay hitter throughout their 18 games, but he had one of the best postseasons of all time. Coming into this postseason, there were a lot of question marks about whether he could perform in the postseason, but that was quickly answered when he hit a home run in his first plate appearance of the postseason."
"In the Divisional Series, he slashed .529/.550/1.059 with three home runs, including a massive grand slam to blow open Game 2. His 324 wRC+ was tied for second-best among players in the divisional series. Guerrero Jr. didn't register a hit in the first two games of the Championship Series, but that didn't matter. In 31 plate appearances, Guerrero Jr. slashed .385/.484/.846 with three home runs for a 250 wRC+, the third-best wRC+ in that round."
"His performance was so good that he won the ALCS MVP. Had the Blue Jays won the World Series, there was a strong chance Guerrero Jr. would've won the World Series MVP as well. In seven games, Guerrero Jr. slashed .333/.474/.600 with two home runs in 38 plate appearances for a 192 wRC+, once again the third-best in the series."
