Guerrero keeps adding to historic postseason run with another big night in Game 5

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been on a tear ever since the MLB postseason started. Right from Game 1 of the ALDS against the New York Yankees when he went 3-for-4 with a home run, it has been a futile attempt to try and neutralize Vladdy.

The Blue Jays superstar was hitting .345/.434/.643 with an OPS of 1.077 with seven home runs and 15 RBIs. He also has 12 walks to 10 strikeouts and added to what is becoming a legendary postseason run with another big game in Game 5 of the World Series against the LA Dodgers.

Guerrero keeps adding to historic postseason run with another big night in Game 5

Guerrero's night started with a bang. After leadoff hitter Davis Schneider hit the first pitch of the game out of the ball park, Guerrero came up and said, "hey I can do that too!" He took Dodgers starter Blake Snell deep to make it 2-0 Toronto before some fans had even settled into their seats.

It's the eighth home run of the 2025 postseason for Guerrero, who is now tied for second all-time in that category, trailing Randy Arozarena who hit 10 during the 2020 postseason. It's not the only category Guerrero is trailing Arozarena in for the all-time top spot.

Guerrero's home run was his lone hit of the night, giving him 27 total hits this postseason, just two back of Arozarena's 29. He also entered the game 14 total bases behind Arozarena, who racked up 64 total bases in the 2020 MLB playoffs, while Guerrero has narrowed that gap after his home run and two walks.

Meantime, his power numbers themselves have been just as impressive. Guerrero has a 248 wRC+ which is also the second best number all-time only behind the 259 wRC+ that Barry Bonds produced in 2002. His .419 batting average ranks first all-time while his .500 OBP is third as is his 1.306 OPS.

The Blue Jays are ahead 3-2 in the World Series thanks to everything Guerrero has been able to give them and by the time its all said and done, Guerrero could have a legitimate claim to having the best offensive postseason in MLB history.
