If you pull a report on all hitters from July 1st last year to today, with 100 minimum plate appearances and then sort by OPS, the best hitters in baseball over that time were:
10) Aaron Judge
9) Rhys Hoskins
8) CJ Cron
7) Brandon Belt
6) Paul Goldschmidt
5) Juan Soto
4) Mike Trout
3) Bryce Harper
2) Taylor Ward
1) Danny Jansen (also first in wOBA)
It's not just a small sample size anymore. He had an absolutely atrocious start to the season last year, and an amazing finish.
He picked up where he left off from last year.
So, can Blue Jays management, please do the following:
1) Stop batting him 8th. This is a heart of the order bat. Somewhere between 3-5 would be great.
2) He needs the Salvador Perez treatment. When he's not catching, he should be the DH. Batting four times a day isn't that exhausting. I'm sure he can handle the workload.
3) Lock him up. He is our catcher of the present and future. Trade off Moreno for a position that we actually need.
