For the past couple of seasons, the Toronto Blue Jays have been notorious for having an inept offense. Last year, the Blue Jays finished 23rd in league in runs scored (671) and RBIs (640), 26th in home runs (156) and 19th in batting average (.241). As a result, one of their main focuses for the 2025 MLB season was to improve their offensive attack.
Well the season may be just over a week old, but the Blue Jays could already be among some of the better offenses in baseball. Of course, the New York Yankees might be running away with it with their torpedo bats. However, the Jays currently find themselves in the upper echelon across various offensive categories for the 2025 season.
Don’t look now, but it looks like the Blue Jays have one of the better offenses in all of baseball
The Blue Jays entered Friday third in baseball in doubles (17), fourth in BABIP (.323), seventh in batting average (.268), eighth in hits (69) and on-base percentage (.338), 11th in OPS (.739), 12th in runs scored (32), 13th in RBIs (29) and 14th in slugging percentage (.401). They may not be runaway league leaders as of this moment, but the numbers have been a long-awaited sight to behold for many Jays fans. Without question it has definitely been a massive improvement over last season.
More importantly, the Jays have been getting some of that offense from the least expected sources.
The newly-acquired Andrés Giménez, normally a defensive specialist, has gotten off to a hot start and leads the team in home runs and RBI.
And if that's not enough, George Springer appears to have rediscovered his dominant form after two down years. He's hit at a .440 clip with a home run and five RBIs. The scariest part is that Anthony Santander hasn’t even hit his stride yet, which means their offense will hit a new stride whenever he starts heating up.
Although offense isn't everything when it comes to winning baseball games, it brings a lot of rejuvenated hope and excitement to a hungry fanbase that hasn't seen an offense like this in quite some time Hopefully, the Jays can continue to mold it into one of their strengths in their quest for redemption this year.
