Top 5 outfielders in Blue Jays franchise history by WAR

4. Lloyd Moseby (24.6 fWAR)

Lloyd Moseby was an important part of the Jays' emergence into the major leagues in the 1980s. He, along with other names such as Jesse Barfield and Dave Steib helped propel the Jays from a struggling newcomer to division-champions in 1985. Moseby came up with the Jays in 1980 and although he struggled his first few years, the center fielder found his stride in 1983, earning his first Silver Slugger award. Moseby would spend ten years with the Jays before retiring with the Detroit Tigers in 1991. Moseby's combination of a contact-forward approach combined with solid defense and baserunning helped cement his name among the Blue Jays' all time greats.

Moseby's best year came arguably the year after he broke out, in 1984. On the cusp of their first division title, Moseby delivered the Jays an all-around strong year, accumulating a career high 6.9 fWAR. While Moseby wasn't at his ultimate peak offensively, he was still very solid, slashing .280/.368.470 with 18 home runs and 92 RBI.

1984 was a career year for Moseby because this is when he truly started hitting strides in both defense and baserunning. He stole a career-high 37 bases and hit an incredible 15 triples. He propelled his Defense Runs Saved into double digits, accumulating 20, more than defensive-wizard Kevin Kiermaier in 2023. Moseby did go on to receive MVP votes in '84, but was ultimately snubbed, finishing only 22nd. Moseby had another solid season in 1986, earning his first All-Star apperance and would go on to finish with over 200 SBs and 50 triples before moving to Detroit.
