When the Blue Jays signed George Springer to a massive six-year contact, it was at the time to be the leadoff hitter for the club.

Over his 795 game career with the Houston Astros, Springer batted first in 603 of those games. When he came back from his first injury earlier this season, Springer batted first in the lineup for four games, however, he landed back on the injured list (IL).
