One of the best stories of the later part of this season for the Blue Jays has been the emergence of Rowdy Tellez after his September call-up. The California native earned the promotion after a solid season in Triple-A Buffalo, and he’s been mashing the ball since arriving in Toronto with the Blue Jays.
So far he’s slashed .444/.474/.944 in his first 18 at bats as a big leaguer, picking up a whopping six doubles already, as well as adding a home run and four RBIs. The sample size is ridiculously small, but it’s been exciting to watch him look like he belongs at the highest level, especially after a bit of a rocky road to the big leagues.
