In case you haven’t heard it enough from the Blue Jays broadcast team, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is a great athlete. He’s confident, agile, and has the quick hands that every middle infielder wishes they had.
Upon being called up on April 20th, it was unclear just what role Gurriel would play. In 12 games, he’s slashed .211/.231/.289 with one home run and five RBI. He’s struck out seven times in 39 plate appearances (17.9% K rate) and has walked once (2.5% BB rate). With an OPS of just .520, it’s safe to say that he’s cooled off quite a bit since his debut, in which he clubbed two singles and recorded three RBI.
