There’s a great chance that one of the hottest hitters the Jays have in their system is someone you haven’t heard about in the Jays system is OF Brad Glenn. He’s on a tear of late, hitting .436/.463/1.077 over his last 10 games, hitting the ball with authority with 6 HRs and 7 doubles (13 extra base hits) making up the majority of his 17 hits over 39 ABs. That brings Glenn to a total of 29 extra base hits in 234 ABs and a very telling overall line of .256/.309/.500. It’s telling because it indicates just how badly Glenn began the 2012 campaign.

Glenn, now 25 and promoted to AA after spending 2011 in HiA, hit .221 in April and .190 in May, accumulating only 14 extra base hits over those 2 months. Now barely through 1 week in July, Glenn has awoken since then to the tune of .324 in June and .429 so far in July. After accumulating a whopping 52 extra base hits in 418 ABs for Dunedin last season, Glenn is finally showing an ability to hit AA pitching not only for the power he displayed that season, but also for some average – a very encouraging sign.
