The Blue Jays veteran backstop tandem of Russell Martin and Jarrod Saltalamacchia have struggled mightily to make consistent contact as the duo has combined for 26 whiffs in 53 at-bats thus far, striking out nearly 50 percent of the time.
Martin who always seems to struggle in April is batting a paltry .103 in 39 at-bats with 16 strikeouts. Thankfully Martin is still drawing walks having earned 9 free passes boosting his on-base percentage to a modest .271 clip.
Saltalamacchia who is in his first season north of the border is batting an uninspiring 0.
