The bad stretches have far outnumbered the good ones as the Blue Jays continue to hold open auditions to evaluate what players will be apart of the cast moving forward beyond 2019. Unfortunately, few players have asserted themselves as building blocks for the future with their performances to date.
The Blue Jays rank fifth in the majors for the most strikeouts as a team with a combined 384, good for an inflated 9.6 K’ rate per game. Only the Mariners, Brewers Nationals, and Padres have whiffed more than the Jays hitters.
On the flipside, the Jays also rank 25th in home runs connecting for only 38 round trippers on the season.
