Toronto Blue Jays hitters August edition: Who’s hot and who’s not

After a superb July in which the Toronto Blue Jays went 18-8 while taking over first place in the American League East division, they have fallen a bit back down to earth this August with a more modest 14-10 record. Nevertheless, the Blue Jays still manage to hold a three and a half game lead over the second place Boston Red Sox with about a month to go in the 2025 MLB season.

So which Jays players have been powering the team to maintain a record above .500 for August and which others have struggled to help the club to achieve even better? Let’s take a look at who’s hot and who’s not in terms of Toronto hitters for the month.

Toronto Blue Jays hitters August edition: Who’s hot and who’s not

Who’s Hot

George Springer

From the way that he has been hitting, no one could tell that George Springer was at one point in time out with a head injury. The red-hot Springer has picked up right from where he left off prior to his injury and has been the main offensive force for the Jays so far in August. The 35-year-old veteran is hitting a blistering .391 with a 1.255 OPS, along with 15 runs scored, six home runs, 10 RBIs and three stolen bases in just 11 games played. Who knows where the Jays would be right now if he didn’t come back in time to keep it a winning month so far for Toronto.

Alejandro Kirk

Alejandro Kirk has firmly asserted himself as the team’s No. 1 catcher this season with a huge 2025 campaign to date. Currently in August, Kirk has put together his best production numbers of any month this season with 11 runs scored, four home runs, 13 RBIs and 10 walks with still another three games to go on the calendar. Just for good measure, he even recorded his first ever stolen base of his career. With Tyler Heineman returning more to normalcy in recent weeks, the Jays will need Kirk more than ever to carry the load down the stretch.

Bo Bichette

After a huge down season in 2024, Bo Bichette has bounced back in a huge way so far with Toronto in 2025. The star shortstop has compiled a stellar .381 average, .996 OPS, together with 19 runs scored, eight doubles, three home runs and 19 RBIs in just 24 games played while maintaining an impressive 1:1 walk-to-strikeout ratio. With September being his best month over the course of his career, look for Bichette to continue his hot streak right to the end of the year.

Davis Schneider 

The official “Babe” Schneider appears to be back as Davis Schneider is mashing the ball once again just like during his debut with the Jays in 2023. August has been his hottest month to date, amassing a strong .341 average, 1.123 OPS, along with 10 runs scored, five home runs and 14 RBIs in just 16 games played. Pretty good for someone that isn’t even given the start on a daily basis. To top it off, he has even recorded a couple of stolen bases to show that he can be a threat on the basepaths as well. The Jays will need more of this version of Schneider in the coming weeks as they look to lock down a postseason berth.

Who’s Not

Addison Barger

After being tabbed potentially as the Blue Jays breakout player of 2025 following a strong start to the year, Addison Barger has actually slowed down quite a bit in recent weeks. For the month of August, Barger has posted just a .200 batting average, .573 OPS, along with eight runs scored, three home runs and 11 RBIs in 22 games of action. His average and OPS numbers are his lowest since debuting for the Jays in April after his call-up. Nevertheless, he is still clutch, as we witnessed in the comeback win against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.

Tyler Heineman 

As we hinted above when discussing about Kirk, Heineman isn’t flirting with .400 as he did earlier in the season. In fact, he has struggled a bit since being hit in the mask earlier this month. In 10 games in August, Heineman has only four hits in total, sporting just a .182 average, .515 OPS with two runs scored and one RBI. Some normalization to the mean was expected anyways after his blazing start to 2025.
