"The Blue Jays have scored only 57 runs in 15 games, averaging 3.8 runs per game, a significant drop from last season's average of 4.93 runs per game."
"Guerrero has batted third in the order, hitting .321 with an .880 OPS, but has only one home run and 11 walks in 65 plate appearances."
"The second and fourth hitters in the lineup have struggled significantly, with the second spot producing a .250 average and the cleanup spot only a .197 average."
"Common sense suggests that pitchers may pitch around Guerrero if there is little risk of consecutive hits or players reaching base safely."
The Toronto Blue Jays have started the season 6-9, with a struggling offense averaging only 3.8 runs per game. Injuries have impacted the team, but the performance of hitters around Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is also a concern. Guerrero has a strong batting average and on-base percentage, but the players batting before and after him have not produced well. This lack of protection may contribute to Guerrero being pitched around, affecting the overall offensive output of the team.
